But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can pay.

At the heart of the empire, Teresa Duarte prepares to take on the burden of her father's godlike ambition. The sociopathic scientist Paolo Cortázar and the Mephistophelian prisoner James Holden are only two of the dangers in a palace thick with intrigue, but Teresa has a mind of her own and secrets even her father the emperor doesn't guess. …

Review of "Tiamat's Wrath" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The Expanse keeps rumbling on. This was a good 'un. The timeline is moved on a few years and many plot threads are wrapped up. They are certainly narrowing down to a denoument now (having said there will only be 9 books). This had moments of true wonder and true sadness. A definite recommend (as is the whole series). A small note, it would be best to have read the novella Strange Dogs before launching into this as it gives some background to an important plot mechanism.
