Plot Summary of Servant of the Empire - Empire Trilogy 2
"Mara finds herself with new enemies. The son and nephew of the man she defeated in "Daughter of the Empire" who vow revenge for the disgrace to the Minwinabi house. Mara also has a new ally though as she buys Kevin, a tall redheaded slave from the war between the two worlds. Mara finds that Kevin's different ways are intriguing and finds herself falling for him. His genius in military strategy also helps her to overcome the plots of her enemies to crush her house once and for all. Kevin himself is torn between his need to be close to the woman he loves and his desire for freedom for himself and his friends to return to their own world."
Neil Morey, Resident Scholar
