Plot Summary of Mistress of the Empire - Empire Trilogy 3
"Mara's rise in power and status continues but now she is attracting alot of attention, unwanted attention. She finds herself the target of the assasins guild, her old allies and even the organization of chosen ones (mages). But why should the Mages that are forbidden to interfere with the political games of the houses want to stop Mara. Mara is urged by her Cho-ja queen (insect race) to take a trip outside the confines of her country to discover secrets that have been kept for centuries. But now Mara must return with her new knowledge in time to stop her newest enemy overthrowing the throne and place her own son on the throne instead."
Neil Morey, Resident Scholar
