Empire’s Heir
(Empire’s Legacy, Book VI)
By Marian L Thorpe
Some games are played for mortal
stakes.
Gwenna, heir to Ésparias, is summoned
by the Empress of Casil to compete for the hand of her son. Offered power and
influence far beyond what her own small land can give her, Gwenna’s strategy
seems clear – except she loves someone else.
Nineteen years earlier, the Empress
outplayed Cillian in diplomacy and intrigue. Alone, his only living daughter
has little chance to counter the Empress's experience and skill. Aging and torn
by grief and worry, Cillian insists on accompanying Gwenna to Casil.
Risking a charge of treason, faced with a choice he does not want to make, Cillian must convince Gwenna her future is more important than his – while Gwenna plans her moves to keep her father safe. Both are playing a dangerous game. Which one will concede – or sacrifice?

Essays, poetry, short stories, peer-reviewed scientific papers, curriculum documents, technical guides, grant applications, press releases – if it has words, it’s likely Marian L Thorpe has written it, somewhere along the line. But nothing has given her more satisfaction than her novels. Combining her love of landscape and history, set in a world reminiscent of Europe after the decline of Rome, her books arise from a lifetime of reading and walking and wondering ‘what if?’ Pre-pandemic, Marian divided her time between Canada and the UK, and hopes she may again, but until then, she resides in a small, very bookish, city in Canada, with her husband Brian and Pye-Cat.
