Synopsis:
They are the most brutal Empire we have known for generations. I am a
seventeen year old slave boy, who must endure a life of servitude and
sacrifice to keep my family alive. They took away my mother, my sister,
my friends, everything I have cared for including my love. I
inadvertently struck out and my actions started a chain reaction which
led to war and a full scale rebellion. They have sent two armies to
crush our resistance. I have an army of 300 maltreated slave children.
They have an army of 5000 battle hardened men. I have hijacked an
armoured State train. They have a limitless arsenal of the most
sophisticated weapons on the face of the earth. I have promised my army
of slave children to get them to freedom or die trying. They have vowed
to kill every single slave child and have promised to handsomely reward
the one who brings my head. I have made a pledge to my younger sister
and will cheat death as many times as it takes to fulfil it. They are
planning victory celebrations as a foregone conclusion, and have ordered
ingeniously gruesome deaths for my soldiers and our families. What they
don't know is . . . we have a stolen nuclear warhead in our possession
and we intend to deliver it to the Emperor's doorstep.
Excerpt
“My hate strengthens my resolve, and helps me remember exactly who
I am... a believer. And I would spurn this limitless wealth built upon
the blood of my people. I would rather die penniless in the arms of my
Joseph, than live as a queen haunted by guilt and shame.”
About the Author
I grew up and went to school in the historic city of Nottingham, where
the legend of Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood enchanted a young boy's
imagination. Encouraged by remarkable teachers I fell in love with
writing stories. Growing up I did a variety of jobs all of which were
rewarding, but it was my love for writing that won in the end. I now
live in London and write to my heart's content. I sincerely hope my
books can provide joy for my readers and most of all inspire more people
to write! And keep the magic alive.
