Publisher Description
An ambitious young woman has just one chance to secure her future and reclaim her family's priceless lost artifacts in this stand-alone novel set in the world of the award-winning, New York Times bestselling Imperial Radch trilogy.
Though she knows her brother holds her mother's favor, Ingrid is determined to at least be considered as heir to the family name. She hatches an audacious plan -- free a thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever returned, and use them to help steal back a priceless artifact.
But Ingray and her charge return to her home to find their planet in political turmoil, at the heart of an escalating interstellar conflict. Together, they must make a new plan to salvage Ingray's future and her world, before they are lost to her for good.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
The action in Provenance unfolds in the same galaxy as Ann Leckie’s best-selling Ancillary trilogy but centres on a different planet. To secure her position as heir to her family’s power and impress her mother, young Ingray decides to recover stolen ancestral relics, but her hastily assembled plan quickly goes awry. Leckie is as skilled at intimate family conflict as sweeping world-building. While Provenance has plenty of propulsive space drama, it’s also a sensitive examination of a young woman’s journey toward belonging and self-worth.
