Produktbeschreibung
Twenty-three years ago, Sophie betrayed her family to save her people. She failed. Once second in line for the imperial throne, Sophie led a rebellion that was crushed by her own grandmother. In the years since her defeat, she has lived in exile at a remote abbey. But her quiet life is interrupted by startling news: the throne sits empty. This is no cause to celebrate, for enemies gather to seize her family's power. On one side, an ambitious general seeks the imperial purple for himself. If he takes the throne, citizens will become serfs and slaves in their own land. On the other side, the empire's northern enemies smell weakness and mass their armies to invade. If left unchecked, they will burn their way south and wipe Sophie's home out of existence. Against these enemies, Sophie has only the stalwart acolytes of her abbey, a few comrades from her failed uprising, and one dogmatic but loyal senator. From the northern frontier to the imperial capital, Sophie must outwit her political foes and face her enemies in battle. If she fails a second time, the empire will fall. Written by Mythcreants editor Oren Ashkenazi, this second-world fantasy novel is inspired by Byzantine history and the radical idea that the rich should pay their taxes. Content notice: This adventure features graphic violence, poverty, and the death of a major character.

Autorenporträt
Oren Ashkenazi grew up in Hawaii, where he annoyed his parents by constantly thinking up ways that the latest Star Trek episode could have happened differently. It wasn't until embarrassingly late in his teens that he discovered science fiction's magical cousin, fantasy, but it was love at first sight once he did. Novels, video games, tabletop roleplaying games, there was no limit to the stories of swords and dragons that he would consume. After college, Oren was approached to be part of Mythcreants. Since he had media opinions aplenty, it was an easy fit! Soon, he wasn't just writing articles, he was also working with clients as a content editor. At least, all those hours spent revising Star Trek episodes would come in handy! As an editor, Oren focuses on helping authors figure out what kind of story they want to tell, and then focusing on how best to do this. The common refrain is "your story can be about anything, but it can't be about everything." When Oren isn't writing for Mythcreants or working on a client manuscript, he likes to run roleplaying campaigns, design roleplaying systems, and work on his own stories.
