When Tetrarchia and Radiant's home country of Loasht suddenly revoke their tenuous peace, Quruscan is no longer the safe haven for Radiant that it once was. He needs someone to help him escape: a bodyguard, perhaps, or someone with the sheer cunning to escort him to safety. The perfect candidate is Kalyna Aljosanova: a crafty, mysterious mercenary with an uncanny reputation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the political situation in Loasht is far more volatile and dangerous than Radiant left it; it soon becomes clear that he may never be able to return home to his family. With a little of Kalyna's signature guile, she finds Radiant asylum in a utopian community on the border between Loasht and the Tetrarchia, and, for a moment, it seems like they might finally have a safe place to stay. But when the group's charismatic leader grows wary of the refugees flocking to his community--and suspicious of Kalyna in particular--that sense of safety begins to unravel once more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eKalyna the Cutthroat\u003c\/i\u003e deftly imagines how the pressures of heroism can warp even the most unshakeable of survivors, asking what responsibilities human beings have to one another, and whether one good deed--of any magnitude--can absolve you of your past for the sake of a future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elijah Kinch Spector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1645660907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645660903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Erewhon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Elijah Kinch Spector","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44966240485631,"sku":"9781645660903","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef880b07-6478-4ea5-97ea-f91ef2ae2b56.jpg?v=1711159278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kalyna-the-cutthroat-elijah-kinch-spector-9781645660903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
