The Lesser Devil

Written by Christopher Ruocchio

Narrated by Samuel Roukin

Can the youngest son of a noble house save his family from a plot generations in the making?
Crispin Marlowe grew up in his brother’s shadow, but Hadrian is gone, and his grandmother—the Duchess of
Delos—is dying.

Answering her summons, Crispin takes off on what should be a routine flight to the ducal palace from the castle at
Devil’s Rest. But he is flying into a trap. There are whispers of treachery among the duchess’s many daughters, rumors
of hidden knives in the planet’s court … if he can even make it there.

With no one coming to save him and only his sister, Sabine, and a few injured guardsmen to protect him, House
Marlowe’s least famous son must make his heroic stand, and contend not only the foes arrayed against his house, but
with the cultists who dwell in the mountains above his family’s ancestral home. …

This was enjoyable side story is Sun Eater series. Glad I read it. Crispin is good character to follow and we didn't get much of him in the Empire of Silence. Would recommend!
