Publisher's Summary

Book one in the magnificent Empire Trilogy by best-selling authors Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts.

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 deaths 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.

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 magnificent first book in The Empire Trilogy by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts.

Rich content delightfully narrated

I loved this story, both the perspective from the other side of the rift wars to the complex machinations of the game of the Council. Underpinning this is the powerful female ruler, Mara, beautifully and compellingly narrated by Tania Rodrigues. Loved every word

An all time favourite...

I've loved these book since I was a teenager and read them many times. It was strange at first hearing name pronounced differently but once I got used to that I was engrossed as ever. Brilliant story that I wish could go on forever...

great story. average narration

Narrator was too fast, Had to set to 95% to make it sound natural/right.
Also a minor annoyance was her narration seemed to be clipped every sentence (or two). like she recoded each sentence individually and they were put together. again the 95% speed helped with this.
Otherwise her voice and reading narration/different characterization was good.

*Addition* Think I may have downloaded this as one big file and that may have had something to do with the clipping. Either way the 95% play speed helped.
