HEIRS TO THE EMPIRE

Heirs to the Empire
In a battle for a galactic empire, an emperor, an assassin, and a vampire join forces.

There are a thousand ways to kill someone and Hali knows them all. Bound to the powerful assassins’ guild, she has one last job to do before she can buy her freedom. But suddenly everything is going terribly wrong and she’ll be lucky if she survives. So what she doesn’t need right now is one sexy vampire complicating things!

Mike wants nothing more than to quit his job and escape to Concordia University to be a historian. Unfortunately he was born into his job — actually title, for Mike is Emperor Darius Michael Roald Barantas, IV, Kith of Samsula, Prior of the Universal Tree, Lord Head of House Barantas, Ruler of a Hundred Worlds, and Emperor of all Proxima, a weighty title and one not lightly cast aside — unless he dies, and that’s not really a solution.

Julian, Lord Desmond of  the Proxima Empire, lives with secrets that could get him killed, and not the least of these is his unique life style. Mike is one of the few people who can call this vampire a friend, but how far will friendship go with an empire at stake and a fist-full of heirs fighting over the title?

An assassin, an emperor, and a vampire — three vastly different people, and the only way they can survive is by working together. Electing a new emperor is a serious business, a time of diplomatic maneuvering and treachery. Suddenly fluid, the politics of the Empire are in the process of remaking themselves to fit a new figurehead, who ever that might be. But there are so many heirs to the empire! Which one is Hali supposed to kill?

And then there’s the cat …
