The Empire's Lion: The Imperial Adept Book One

by Nathan Tudor

Overview

"This book wowed me."

—Michael McClellan, bestselling author of The Sand Sea

She left a slave. She returns a conqueror.

As an Adept, Reiva blasts fire from her hands and leaps over walls. But when her first solo mission leaves her half-dead amidst a heap of massacred allies, she gets just one chance at redemption.

The Empire orders her to crush the one kingdom she thought she would never see again: Talynis, the land of her birth, the land she left in chains.

Standing in her way is the Wolf, a vicious assassin hellbent on killing Adepts—and a single cut from his cursed blade will destroy Reiva's magic forever.

Even if she can survive, victory may come at a price too high to pay...

About the Author

Nathan Tudor has researched ancient religion at Oxford, traveled the seven continents, and mastered the art of speaking in the third person. His debut novel The Empire’s Lion tells an epic story filled with action, identity, and the struggle to do what is right in an upside-down world.
Allegations that he hired an alchemist to give him the tread of a cat and the ears of a fox are categorically false.
