Book one in the magnificent Empire Trilogy by bestselling authors Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts, now available in ebook format.

Enter the mysterious and exotic world of Kelewan…

Mara, the youngest child of the ancient and noble Acoma family, is about to take her pledge of servitude to the goddess Lashima when the ceremony is disrupted by news of her father and brother’s death in battle.

Despite her grief, as the only surviving member of her house, Mara must now take up the mantles of Ruling Lady. But she soon discovers betrayal at the heart of her family’s loss, and the Acoma’s enemies have brought her house to the brink of utter destruction.

Daughter of the Empire is the magnificent first book in The Empire Trilogy by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts.

Mara, an inexperienced political player, must draw on all her wit, intelligence and cunning to navigate the ruthless Game of the Council, regain the honour of House Acoma and secure the future of her family. But with assassins waiting around every corner, it might take everything Mara has simply to survive.

Daughter of the Empire is the first in Feist and Wurts’ wonderful epic trilogy – one of the most successful fantasy collaborations of all time. The trilogy continues with the second book, Servant of the Empire.

A rollicking tale that leaps from one plot to the next and leaves you wanting more.

I used this book for reading purposes and to compliment books 2 and 3 which I already possessed. Although the print size was small I eventually adjusted .

Loved the deeper insight this series is giving to the parallel story of the main series. Love that the main character here is a strong woman!

Good, but not as good as Feist.

Reviewed in Australia on 30 January 2015

Verified Purchase

A very good read, although there is no doubt it is not as great as Feist's stand alone books. More of a political thriller, with only sporadic 'action' scenes. I will definitely read the remaining series, but only after I have read the main storyline.

Faultess storytelling - a breathtaking novel with depth, detail and characters that ooze 'realness'. I keep coming back to this much loved series.

A new world to unfold. The Game of the Council is as absorbing as the magic of the Rift War.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2020

An incredible book and a fresh introduction into the beautiful yet completely different world of Kelewan. It was an ever so slightly jarring change in pace to the Rift War saga books but well worth the transition. Expect a different, more grounded energy with this saga. Where the familiar battles, magic and archetypal hero’s of the rift war are replaced by intrigue, plots, honour and chess like one-upmanships thrown into a very different court of ethics. With longer chapters and a focus on new and unfamiliar characters to its predecessor, it may take a little while to adjust, as it bares almost no relation to the previous novels, but the main protagonists is just as (if not more) enigmatic and absorbing as her counterparts in midkemia. The second book in this series does bring Midkemia back into the fold, but by the time I began it I was already engrossed in this new world. A hugely fulfilling read. I was won over very quickly. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to keep going past the Rift War.

RS!

read part 1 and stop.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 December 2014

3 part series.
part one was very good. it felt like reading about seanchan empire from the wheel of time series. the ending was a bit lame.
part two was ok but felt very long but still still readable.
part three. alarm bells started ringing from the very beginning. a life shattering events takes place in the first few pages of the book, but it was as exciting reading a shopping list. this gets very very bad. it was very clear that two different people were writing the story. one was ok the other was very bad at writing. over complicated sentences, where i had to keep stopping and reading again and again trying to make sense of a sentence without much success. the same writer keeps describing how the character was feel, which was not very engaging(steven erikson's show not tell rule makes very painfully clear).
i just felt angry how a very good story in part one can deteriorate to such a badly written, over long mess.

I enjoyed Feist's Magician very much, and this story, covering some of the same period on the Tsurani world, is brilliantly written and plotted. Mara may be something of a Mary Sue in that she is a brilliant politician and player of the game, despite her very young age and total lack of experience, but that doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the story - after all, the protagonist has to win in the end!

In many ways I felt this book was better crafted - both in plotting and in the writing - than the Riftwar books, and Janny Wurts' experience and touch shows, particularly in the way Mara is developed. Overall I thought this was a brilliant book, which I would happily read again.

My favourite books.

The Empire trilogy is hands down my favourite story. I have read them dozens of times since I was first introduced to Feist's books by my grandfather 30 some years ago. Such a rich world full of intrigue and excitement. I bought the kindle edition even though I have them all in paperback just so I can read them wherever I go. Can't recommend them enough.

A masterwork.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2012

Verified Purchase

Firstly I would like to say if you read this book I highly recommend reading the Riftwar Saga first which involves:
Magician (Another masterwork)
Silverthorn (Very good)
Darkness at Sethanon (Epically Amazing)

The Empire trilogy fits in perfectly into Raymond E Feist fantasy universe. The storyline runs in linear to the main series and you get to understand how the exotic empire functions; the reasons behind war, politics and culture. After reading this book I was hungry for more. Great value for money.
