So, taking a bit of a step away from the first volume, Daniel Abraham gives readers what is essentially a fantastically infused murder mystery set in the imagined city of Machi. ![]() Otah’s old companion – to call the man who coveted and loved the same woman as you a friend is a bit of a stretch – Maati is tasked by the head of his order the Dhai-kvo to investigate the deaths. Otah’s family becomes the central focus of the novel as one of his brothers – in line for the family throne of the Khai – is murdered. Maati is living a life of dishonor because of being involved in the events of the previous novel and Otah is living the simple life of a courier in an attempt to remove himself even further from his family, his role in the events in Saraykeht, and the world of the poets. ![]() Picking up thirteen years after the momentous events that closed out A Shadow in Summer, the second installment of A Betrayal in Winter sees the characters of Maati and Otah somewhat changed. ![]()
