Touraine foils their plans, but as they are being executed, one of them calls her by her old name. Before the unit ventures far, a group of Qazāli rebels attempt to kidnap the princess. Now her unit is escorting the Balladairan princess, Luca Ancier, back to El-Wast, the capital city of Qazāl’ and Touraine’s home city, which she has no memory of, thanks to the brutal upbring she endured that strove to erase her ethnicity, her culture, and even her language. Touraine is a Qazāli soldier who had been conscripted as a child for the Balladaire empire. The latest of these is The Unbroken by C.L. It feels to me as of late that there’s been a good number of fantasy works coming out that explore the nature of colonization from the oppressed minority’s point of view.
