Imperial Galaxy
Garth Nix · 1 novel · 1 short story · 2012
Prince Khemri has spent his life as one of ten thousand princes bred and trained by a sprawling galactic empire, expecting eventual rule -- until he learns just how disposable princes actually are, and how routinely they're assassinated by their own siblings. Garth Nix's A Confusion of Princes follows Khemri through the empire's ruthless military, its secret intelligence service, and a deadly, decades-long competition to determine who might one day take the throne. It's a single, self-contained space opera rather than an ongoing series.
