Love, loyalty, and betrayal clash in a breathtaking tale of rebuilding a shattered world.
At the end of a seven-year war, Remin of Andelin promised his loyal knights a home. But as he and his men journey to their hard-won lands, he learns that the only thing more difficult than winning a war is protecting the peace.
As the walls of his new city rise, the days are filled with backbreaking labor, while the nights bring devils, monstrous creatures summoned in the waning days of the war. Even as Remin battles bandits, traitors, and the implacable hatred of the Emperor, an even deadlier threat resides in his own small cottage.
Princess Ophele Agnephus, the Exile Princess, the secret daughter of the Divine Emperor who executed Remin’s family. Raised in exile and given as a prize for Remin’s victory in the war, she carries a deadly secret that could topple the Empire itself. But will she risk everything to reveal the truth of her family’s crimes?
In the ruins of war and the promise of a new beginning, Remin must navigate a treacherous landscape of shattered trust and unquenchable hope. Ophele could be everything: his love and his wife, the mother of his children, his partner to stand against the world. Or she could be the Emperor’s weapon, sent to destroy everything he has left.
Begin an unforgettable journey with Traitor Son, the first gripping installment of the Empire of the Stars. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy, noble heroes, and tales of resilience and redemption.
