Daughter of the Empire

Magic and murder engulf the realm of Kelewan.

Fierce warlords ignite a bitter blood feud to enslave the empire of Tsuranuanni.

While in the opulent Imperial courts, assassins and spy-master plot cunning and devious intrigues against the rightful heir.

Now Mara, a young, untested Ruling lady, is called upon to lead her people in a heroic struggle for survival.

But first she must rally an army of rebel warriors, form a pact with the alien cho-ja, and marry the son of a hated enemy.

Only then can Mara face her most dangerous foe of all—in his own impregnable stronghold.
