Kelewan: the world on the far side of the magical rift where Tsurani court intrigue is as legendary as it is deadly. In Daugher of the Empire the inexperienced Mara of the Acoma is thrust into this realm of vicious political machinations with no allies and only her wits to sustain her.

SERVANT OF THE EMPIRE

As the Ridtwar draws to its tumultuous end, Mara is set upon at every turn by dark magic, political murder, and devastating heartbreak. What her blood enemy, the vengeful Lord Desio of the Minwanabi, isn't counting on is Mara's relationship with a rakish Midkemian slave - whose secret identity becomes his mistress's secret weapon - and Mara's own genius for stategy. Magical portals to the rimworld are sundered as battle is finally joined between House Acoma and House Minwanabi. Mara can rely only on her own instincts, and the plan she devises could either bring her ultimate victory - or forever tear the Empire apart.

"A sweeping drama unveilig a tale of love, hate and sacrifice against the panorama of an alien yet familiar society."
- Publishers Weekly
"Uncommonly satisfying."
- Locus

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
