Narrated by Peter Kenny

It begins in the realm of the Real, where matter still matters.
It begins with a murder. And it will not end until the Culture
has gone to war with death itself. Lededje Y'breq is one of the
Intagliated, her marked body bearing witness to a family shame,
her life belonging to a man whose lust for power is without
limit. Prepared to risk everything for her freedom, her release,
when it comes, is at a price, and to put things right she will
need the help of the Culture. Benevolent, enlightened and almost
infinitely resourceful though it may be, the Culture can only do
so much for any individual. With the assistance of one of its
most powerful - and arguably deranged - warships, Lededje finds
herself heading into a combat zone not even sure which side the
Culture is really on. A war - brutal, far-reaching - is already
raging within the digital realms that store the souls of the dead,
and it's about to erupt into reality. It started in the realm of
the Real and that is where it will end. It will touch countless
lives and affect entire civilizations, but at the centre of it
all is a young woman whose need for revenge masks another motive
altogether.
