A Betrayal in Winter

Long Price Quartet Series, Book 2

De: Daniel Abraham

Narrado por: Neil Shah

As a boy, Otah Machi was exiled from his family, Machi's ruling house. Decades later, he has witnessed and been part of world-changing events. Yet he has never returned to Machi. Now his father - the Khai, or ruler, of Machi - is dying, and his eldest brother, Biitrah, has been assassinated, Otah realizes that he must return to Machi for reasons not even he understands.

Tradition dictates that the sons of a dying Khai fall upon each other until only one remains to succeed his father. But something even worse is occurring in Machi. The Galts, an expansive empire, have allied with someone in Machi to bring down the ruling house. Otah, the long-missing brother with an all-too-obvious motive for murder, is accused.

Spellbinding

This one really opens my imagination. I love the communication system that involves gestures to layer context and meaning.

Worth listening

Plot is better than the first book. It is also more believable. Performance is very good.
