A Congress of Roses
(2026)(The fourth book in the Empire of the Stars series)
A novel by Melissa Cave
"The last of my blood is right here."
Too many Knights of the Brede are the last of their blood. But being an orphan might be better than being the beloved daughter of the Divine Emperor.
With blood still soaking the Tresingale docks, Remin and Ophele set sail for the capital, where a single night's scandal can echo to the Five Courts. The Emperor's cold war with his Empress has already torn the Empire apart once, and as the Crown Princess Selenne makes her debut, Ophele's arrival threatens the precarious balance of power.
Amidst assassins, duels, and the dangerous machinations of the court, it becomes clear that the only thing more deadly than defying the Emperor is belonging to him. The capital has always found many uses for the Children of the Stars, and Ophele will have to learn to command this game, or be claimed as a pawn.
This is not a battle of borders or blades. Sidelined in society and despised as the son of traitors, Remin is forced to fight at her side with new weapons of intrigue and influence, where every move he makes risks everything they have built. Because this time, the greatest general in the Empire isn't trying to win a war.
He's trying to stop one.
A Congress of Roses is the fourth book of the Empire of the Stars, a romantic epic about a love mightier than an empire. If you love the sweeping romance of Outlander, the lush, deadly world of the Kushiel's Legacy series, and the rich storytelling of Robin Hobb, you will love Empire of the Stars.
Begin the story with Traitor Son, Book 1 of the Empire of the Stars.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
