Lex Talionis

A “stunning debut...intense and intriguing” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A tense, morally complex science fiction thriller that tackles hard questions of loyalty, exploitation, and human decency” — Elizabeth Bear

THE LAW OF REVENGE

A battered young woman wakes from a coma in a space port hospital with no memories of her
past. The only thing she remembers are two words: Lex Talionis—the Law of Revenge. To
discover her identity, she must re-live the nightmares of her past, and face the only survivor of
a terrible massacre that connects her with her abductors.

This fast-paced stunning debut takes the readers through an emotional roller-coaster as Lex relives
her ordeal and the shocking aftermath. Everything she learns draws her nearer to the
person who almost destroyed her: the only man she has ever loved.
