An epic tale of adventure and intrigue, Daughter of the Empire is
fantasy of the highest order by two of the most talented writers in the
field today.
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.
