Program Description
Event Details
This month we'll be discussing The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett.
In Daretana's most opulent mansion, a high Imperial officer lies dead. It appears that he was killed when a tree spontaneously erupted from his body. Ana Dolabra is an investigator whose reputation for brilliance is matched only by her eccentricities. At her side is her new assistant, Dinios Kol, an engraver, magically altered to possess a perfect memory.
This book won the 2025 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
