Tyche's Grace

Grace Gushiken is a prisoner at fourteen.

Confined to her father Kazuo's estate, she's raised to obey, trained to serve, and taught the sharpest skills of stealth, combat, and control. Like him, she's an esper—a reader of minds. But her abilities are stunted, her world is shrinking, and her future belongs to someone else.

When a routine trip to the ancient city of Ise goes violently wrong, Grace sees a chance to escape. Her father's influence is vast. His will is terrifying. And his reach goes deeper than she ever imagined.

But when he leaves to meet the Emperor, Grace has one shot: through the plague-ravaged streets of Osaka, into the jaws of a dead city, and out—into the stars.

If she fails, she won't just lose her freedom.

She'll lose her mind.
