About “Inversions”

In the winter palace, the King’s new physician faces more enemies than she initially realizes. However, she also has a greater number of remedies at her disposal than those who wish her harm can know. In a different palace across the mountains, the chief bodyguard serves the regicidal Protector General. He too has enemies, but they act more quickly, and his methods for dealing with them are more conventional. This is a 1998 novel by Iain M. Banks.
