The Broken Mirror Novel

The Dalawa Empire stands at the precipice of collapse. With Emperor Micaleaon's reign ending in seven days, the empire faces an unprecedented crisis: there is no heir. The crown prince, Prince Medan, has been dead for thirty years, and his brother Prince Nicadeaus, a fugitive who wielded dark magic against him, cannot inherit without facing eternal solitude. When the High Priest overrules the Royal Oracle's designation of Prince Mamadu as heir apparent, the desperate prince conspires with the Great Wizard and Prime Minister to overthrow the Emperor—a coup that would inadvertently destroy the entire empire. Meanwhile, Malin, a former commander of the Seventh Estate and skilled assassin, has been sentenced to death for saving Princess Revina of Palawa from execution. Now in an unfamiliar dimension facing certain death, Malin must protect both Revina and himself. In an empire where the Emperor's word is law, both are trapped on the wrong side of fate. The survival of the empire, and of Malin and Revina themselves, hangs in the balance.
