Produktbeschreibung

The city state of Vencenza rots, and Giorgianna, vengeful, enlightened, an outlaw and witch, seeks bloodthe dues she's owed for the crimes committed against her and those she loves.

As summer withers to autumn, she is faced with a deadly quest: infiltrate the ministerial court, unspool the inner circle's darkest secrets, and aid the resistance in bringing forth a revolution to finally break the shackles of tyranny. All while remaining under pretences amidst the state's most powerful and violent men.

But explosive tensions mount among the revolutionaries, bodies pile in the streets, the church gains frightening authority, and Giorgianna's psyche teeters along its final breaking pointmade only worse by a lovesickness more agonising than hunger.

With winter looming upon the horizon, civil war seems inevitable, and love could never be a saviour.

How dearly will those dues cost?

In this second and ultimate instalment of the grimdark dystopian X gaslamp fantasy duology THE HYPOSTASIS OF DISSENT, politics take centre stage, trust is tragically tested, and dark and bloody magic joins the fray of a battle for liberation.

The paperback edition features several illustrations by the author, Sfarda L. Gül, as well as one illustration each by Ayse-Mira Yasin and Nadia Sampellegrini.

Take note that this book is very heavy on worldbuilding and conlang, and features very dense prose, something which some readers may find detracts from immersion for them.
