About Embassytown
Avice returns to Embassytown on Arieka, where humans live alongside the enigmatic Hosts, aliens whose Language can only be spoken by specially paired Ambassadors. When a new Ambassador arrives and disrupts the fragile connection between species, Avice may be the only one who can reach the Hosts—though doing so should be impossible.
