Born of Empire

Farnham Literary Festival Three days. Two teens. One throne. The future hangs by a thread.

In the future, Earth has expanded into a 12-planet empire: the Dodecahedral. Ruled by a cruel and aging despot, who has one heir: Prince Teodor. Protected behind high walls and withdrawn from public life — who is this Prince? Two days before his sixteenth birthday, Teodor is taken. In a brutal attack on the ancient cathedral, the beating heart of Earth’s capital. The only question now is: how long will the last Prince and Heir survive? The clock is ticking.

Meanwhile, in the shadows and back alleys of the same capital, Guy Erma is fighting for his future. A gifted mathematician. A blade champion. If only he had a shot. Just one chance to prove himself. Guy witnesses the prince’s kidnapping. Guy also knows who did it.

The question is: what should he do? Who can he tell? Who should he trust? Ultimately, the question isn’t whether he can save Teodor… 👉 It’s whether he should.
