The Empire Trilogy: Servant of the Empire

Servant of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts


Book description: "In the second novel, Mara battles the Minwanabi again. Though Servant of the Empire continues to chronicle Mara's rise to power, it also takes a deeper look at Tsurani society. There is a more revolutionary approach to the story. Though Mara challenged her society's norms in Daughter of the Empire, she is still a product of her culture and doesn't question many of her beliefs and actions. In Servant of the Empire, those beliefs are shaken by Kevin of Zun, a Midkemian slave she buys. He becomes her lover and acts as a catalyst for Mara's growth. She learns to not only be a great Lady of the Empire, but starts to take part in her nation's politics"
