Anaander is a member of the Radch, a vast and powerful empire that has conquered countless worlds. But Anaander is no ordinary Radchaai. She is a Prefect, a member of the elite ruling class that governs the empire. But despite her station, Anaander is haunted by the memories of her past, when she was a soldier in the Radch's brutal wars of conquest.

Anaander's past comes crashing down on her when she is sent on a mission to negotiate a peace treaty with the Presger, a small but fiercely independent people who have resisted the Radch for centuries. The Presger are led by Nirai Kujen, a brilliant and charismatic young woman who is determined to protect her people from the Radch's aggression.

As Anaander and Nirai work together to forge a peace treaty, they find themselves drawn to each other. But their relationship is forbidden. The Radch and the Presger are sworn enemies, and any relationship between them is seen as treason. But Anaander and Nirai cannot deny their feelings for each other, and they soon find themselves caught in a dangerous web of love, betrayal, and war.

Desolation Called Peace is a complex and multi-layered novel that explores the nature of identity, power, and war. Leckie creates a vast and believable interstellar civilization, and her characters are complex and well-developed. The novel is also a powerful indictment of war, and Leckie does not shy away from the horrors of conflict.

Desolation Called Peace is a must-read for fans of science fiction and anyone who is interested in the human condition. It is a haunting and thought-provoking novel that will stay with you long after you finish it.
