Synopsis

Nyx is a bodyguard in Mustallah, the capital city of Nasheen. The centuries-long holy war between Nasheen and Chenja is taking its toll, with shortages and rationing causing the Queen to lose power and popularity. While protecting the daughter of a Ras Tiegan Diplomat, Nyx is attacked by a group of assassins. Nyx survives, but begins to suffer from a strange, debilitating condition that nobody can identify. Caught up in a whirl-wind of intrigue involving Bel Dam Assassins plotting against the Queen, Nyx must learn who the rouge Bel Dam is, and find a cure for her illness, while avoiding the wrath of the queen she is trying to protect. The danger that swirls around her may have finally become to much, and Nyx''s colleagues and friends began to die. Will Nyx be next?

About this title

Review:

"Infidel is a well thought-out and intelligent novel, which asks a number of questions and refuses to present easy answers. " (SFF Chronicles)

"Readers who enjoyed God's War will not be disappointed by Infidel... I highly recommend it." (Strange Horizons Magazine)

"Hurley's world-building, vivid and blissfully free of infodumps and expository lumps, was one of the great strengths of God's War, and it's a pleasure to return to the fascinating and messed-up world she created -- one especially enjoyable for its ethnically diverse cast and freewheeling remixes of traditional gender roles. " (Tor.com)

"...Kameron Hurley is worth investing in... this is ground breaking work and should be recognized... " (Staffer's Musings)

Book Description:

An action packed, high concept, far future thriller from the Hugo award winning author of the Worldbreaker Saga Series and The Stars are Legion
