Join Frances Hardinge, winner of the Costa Book Award for The Lie Tree, for a discussion of her dazzling new novel for readers of all ages, Traitors’ Nest, set in a fantasy realm where grandstanding Players deploy castles as though they were chess pieces, and ordinary folk are caught in the gears of their Great Game. The discussion and Q&A will explore Hardinge’s historical and mythological inspirations, with the opportunity to get books signed at the end of the event.
