Abstract

When the peaceful life she built for herself is shattered, T’Rayles returns to the streets of the colonial city, Seventhblade, to hunt down the woman who put its destruction into play. The daughter of an Indigenous Ibinnashae and an immortal who walks the north, T’Rayles is considered an abomination, a halfsoul, and is shunned by both the First People and the colonizers of her homeland. Set in a high fantasy world, the colonization of Kaspine in Lament and the treatment of the Indigenous cultures and communities are written as an analogy to the colonization of North America, with focus on the French and British mercantile and colonial powers, as they vied for control of the natural resources of the vast “New World.”
