    "description": "<p><em>A Desolation Called Peace</em> is the spectacular space opera sequel to Arkady Martine's genre-reinventing, Hugo Award-winning debut, <em>A Memory Called Empire.</em><br /><br />An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it, and Fleet Captain Nine Hibiscus is running out of options. <br /><br />In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy. Now Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass&mdash;still reeling from the recent upheaval in the Empire&mdash;face the impossible task of trying to communicate with a hostile entity. <br /><br />Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths in an endless war. Their success might prevent Teixcalaan&rsquo;s destruction&mdash;and allow the empire to continue its rapacious expansion. <br /><br />Or it might create something far stranger . . .</p>",
