This is a Tor short story, which makes it a kind of preview of a larger book. In this case, we have the story set in a distant future. Man has populated the solar system. Mars was settled, then controlled by sentient space ships. The dominion of sentient ships was overturned by the Leviathan - which seems to be a sentient Jupiter - and its emissary Ajax, the creator of the Ascendants. The Ascendants are superhuman and have reduced the human race into serf status.

This is the story of a human serf raised to Ascendant status. It describes what she went through to get that promotion and her plot of revenge against Ajax.

All in all, the imagined future is complex and may be interesting. On the other hand, it was all a lot to absorb so quickly and I don't think the story made its sales as particularly entertaining.
