A Confusion of Princes

Youd think being a privileged Prince in a vast intergalactic empire would be about as good as it gets.

But it isnt as great as it sounds. For one thing, Princes are always in danger. Their greatest threat?Other Princes. Khemri discovers that the moment he is proclaimed a Prince.

He also discovers mysteries within the hidden workings of the Empire. Dispatched on a secret mission, Khemri comes across the ruins of a space battle. In the midst of it, he meets a young woman called Raine who will challenge his view of the Empire, of Princes, and of himself.

This extraordinary coming-of-age tale, by storyteller nonpareil Garth Nix, is original, thrilling, and triumphant.
