This is normally not my cup of tea, so to speak, but this one really hooked me in from the start. I'll admit I had issues remembering, and pronouncing, most of the names and places but that is true of all SciFi I have ever read, but it did make it difficult for me. The story however kept me going. It was a longer read, as is SciFi fashion but I didn't mind. The story keeps on rolling and keeps you entertained throughout. I was quite impressed and would certainly look for more in this series.

An enjoyable story, although I did get confused about the different names and factions ìnvolved. Quite an intricate plot.

About the author

Katt Powers was born in Sydney, Australia.

After a time living in the NSW Southern Highlands, she worked as an anthropologist in the Northern Territory for many years. 

A decade ago, she retrained as an archaeologist specialising in human remains and Aboriginal archaeology. She now works as a senior archaeologist for a large ecology and heritage consultancy. She is of Aboriginal descent and is deeply grateful to have spent over 20 years protecting Aboriginal heritage. 

She is currently writing two series:

The Imperial Assassin series follows the adventures of Dhani Karim, wrongly expelled from the Imperial Assassins for a murder she didn’t commit. Demoted to a rankless covert operative, she fights to prove her innocence and regain her place in the Assassins.

The Children of Dust and Flame series involves Nimala Sirasena, a young woman forced to become the Empire’s secret weapon to save her adopted family. Nimala must overcome hate, prejudice and her own mysterious background if she’s to succeed and save the people she loves.

Katt currently lives on 24 acres in the Murray-Mallee region of South Australia with her husband, two very naughty dogs and lots of prickles.

She does not like Vegemite and has never seen the movie Titanic.
