But Khemri is a Prince, and even if he wanted to leave the Empire behind, there are forces there that have very definite plans for his future. In the ruins of space battle, he meets a young woman, called Raine, who challenges his view of the Empire, of Princes, and of himself. Khemri is drawn into the hidden workings of the Empire and is dispatched on a secret mission. Alas, he immediately finds out that his status isn't quite as. There are rules, but as Khemri discovers, rules can be bent and even broken. Exuberant and insightful, this science-fiction bildungsroman grapples with the essential question: 'Who am I' After 16 years of intensive training and superhuman augmentation, Khemri is ready to take his place as Prince of the mighty intergalactic Empire. Every Prince wants to become Emperor and the surest way to do so is to kill, dishonor, or sideline any potential competitor. Khemri learns the minute he becomes a Prince that princes need to be hard to kill-for they are always in danger. Garth Nix, bestselling author of the Keys to the Kingdom series and Shades Children, combines space opera with a coming-of-age story in his YA novel A Confusion of Princes.
