A Confusion of Princes
Om denne e-boken
Superhuman. Immortal. Prince in a Galactic Empire. There has to be a catch….
Khemri learns the minute he becomes a Prince that princes need to be hard to kill—for they are always in danger. Their greatest threat? Other Princes. Every Prince wants to become Emperor and the surest way to do so is to kill, dishonor, or sideline any potential competitor. There are rules, but as Khemri discovers, rules can be bent and even broken.
There are also mysteries. Khemri is drawn into the hidden workings of the Empire and is dispatched on a secret mission. In the ruins of space battle, he meets a young woman, called Raine, who challenges his view of the Empire, of Princes, and of himself. But Khemri is a Prince, and even if he wanted to leave the Empire behind, there are forces there that have very definite plans for his future.
Khemri thought he was made to rule. What will he become when he’s forced to fight for his life?
- A Deadly Game of Succession: Ten million Princes rule the galaxy, but only one can be Emperor. For Khemri, surviving his own investiture is the first of many tests.
- Forced to Join the Navy: Hunted from his first moments as a Prince, Khemri’s only refuge is the one place he never wanted to go: the Imperial Naval Academy.
- Advanced Technology & Psitek Power: Experience a universe defined by the trinity of Imperial teks—Mektek, Bitek, and Psitek—where a Prince’s mind can be as deadly as his warship.
- A Universe of Intrigue: When Khemri meets the mysterious Raine, he begins to question everything he knows about the Empire, its godlike Princes, and his own identity.
