Synopsis

He lives to facilitate understanding. But in this quest to forge a political agreement, any confusion could be fatal.

Military interpreter Eliadmaru Faraa has had a lifelong love affair with words. Habitually attuned to the verbal subtext of those around him on the front lines, the last thing the linguist wants to do is pick up a sword. But after he’s personally selected to accompany the Emperor’s nephew on a perilous trip to negotiate a high-stakes treaty, he suddenly has the fate of his people in his hands.

When their ploy to save the other realm’s princess works, Eliadmaru quickly finds himself caught in the complicated position of translating sweet nothings between the two royals. But as powerful players push their own agendas, the wordsmith may be the only person who knows precisely what everyone desires…

With life, death, and love on the line, will Eliadmaru find the perfect expression to bring two realms together?

The Interpreter’s Tale: A Word with Too Many Meanings is an engaging standalone fantasy set in the Direnayu world. If you like clever characters, high-court intrigue, and a glimpse into a rarely seen side of magical settings, read this satisfying political tapestry today!

"If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a polyglot, The Interpreter’s Tale will introduce you to a fantastical world of intrigue, trouble and tongue-play. If you are a polyglot, you can commiserate with Eliadmaru constantly being the only one in the room who can understand what everyone else is saying. Extremely fun read!” - David J. Peterson, creator of languages for HBO’s Game of Thrones and Dune I & II

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As a linguist and military interpreter, Eliadmaru Faraa has always been a supporting character in other people's stories. And so far, that's been just fine with him: it's words he loves, not swordplay or affairs of state.

Now he's been asked for help by the Emperor's nephew. Together, along with an irritating ambassador and a sorceress with a secret and a high sex drive, they aim to save an ailing princess and stop the trade of weapons to the border war.

Which is more difficult—not disgracing himself during a touchy negotiation, winning back his boyhood sweetheart, or translating his lovelorn teenage boss's amateur poetry?

He'll soon find out....

THE INTERPRETER'S TALE is the only fantasy novel ever told from the perspective of a diplomatic interpreter: a role both ubiquitous and vital in the real world, but thoroughly neglected in both realistic and speculative fiction—until now.
