Inversions is a novel by Iain M. Banks set in the universe of The Culture. Banks has said that "Inversions was an attempt to write a Culture novel that wasn't." While citizens of The Culture do appear and have influence in the story, they are never explicily recognized as such.The story occurs in an unnamed planet that resembles Earth's middle ages and is presented as a compilation by an old doctor. The chapters alternate between the account from when he was the young apprentice (and spy) to the royal physician who is the focus of that side of the story, and chapters from an unknown narrator that tell of the bodyguard to Protector UrLeyn, who rebelled against the Evil Empire and now is preparing to fight a rebellion of his own.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

After the End
 Inversions / int_334e48a1
comment
After the End: Very downplayed. Years before the story begins there was a falling of meteorites that killed millions and devastated crops, destroying the empire. However, the land recovered fairly quickly and the conflict is driven more by the political turmoil following the fall of the empire.

All Love Is Unrequited: In the doctor's story Vossil falls for the king, who much prefers a Brainless Beauty or a politically advantageous marriage. Oelph falls for her and is also rejected.

comment
Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Subverted. Perrund is not as young as many of the other concubines and as a result of protecting UrLeyn from an assassination attempt, her left arm is completely atrophied, but she's described as being still very beautiful.
