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 spymasters 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.
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.

Raymond E. Feist
In a genre where worlds are often born from maps and ancient bloodlines, Raymond E. Feist did something different—he began with a game. What started as a Dungeons & Dragons-style campaign with friends at the University of California, San Diego eventually evolved into Midkemia, a richly imagined realm that would become the backdrop for one of epic fantasy’s most enduring sagas. But it wasn’t just the magic, battles, or sprawling kingdoms that drew readers in—it was Feist’s uncanny ability to make the fate of the world hinge on the journey of a kitchen boy named Pug.
