It follows one woman's quest to unearth her true heritage, unlikely alliances and a chain of events that change the fate of the mighty Empire of Bantara forever."Empire is fantasy written on a massive scale... yet draws the reader into the personal quest of the heroine, and the hopes and fears that form this complex character. I felt very close to Amber and her co-adventurers and thoroughly enjoyed spending time in their company. Each character is beautifully drawn and well rounded- so much so that I am already having withdrawal having finished the book."L. Bambrey, OBCOrphan - Outcast - SaviourAmber doesn't feel she belongs.

Despite a stoic self-reliance, as she travels Amber makes an unlikely alliance with exiled spy Ryan de Brun, Devedran nobleman and merchant extraordinaire Drew Blackthorn, and taciturn elven tracker Talar.When despotic Emperor Chichoni learns that this motley band of companions pose a potential threat to his rule it sparks an imperial manhunt that spans the length and breadth of the empire.
