Shanji
THEY HAD KILLED AND
RAPED HER MOTHERЧ
AND NOW SHE HELD THE FATE OF
TWO WORLDS IN HER HANDS

Poor Kati! She was a barbarian child, she was violently orphaned,
she was taken captive by the Emperor's men . . . and she was not
quite human. Taken into the Emperor's court, she saw the glitter,
and she saw the secret city where people labored from birth to
death. And she learned that another sun was closely approaching,
pursuing its own trajectory . . . which on its last occurrence had
brought unimaginable turmoil, and this time would bring pitiless
invaders! Then she found that she was to lead the armies that
might save the planet . . . that she was the Warrior Empress,
whether she wanted to be or not, her nose hooked into a cruel
beak, her eyes glowing an eerie red.

A tale of barbarian courage and imperial splendor. Of a girl who
shared the heritage of two races, and found she was born to rule
both!

"Shanji is rich in good things. Here is hard science with all the
gorgeous colors of fantasy, and storytelling with the sweep of
historical epic."
ЧM. J. Engh

"Well written, and of a piece, and it comes pretty close to
singing."
ЧAlgis Budrys
