Servant of the Empire - Janny Wurts and Raymond Feist
Lord Jingu is dead and Lady Mara is leading House Acoma to greatness within the Empire. Unfortunately with his ascendancy to Minwanabi Lordship, Desio has sworn a Blood Oath to the death god Turamaku. Minwanabi or Acoma...only one House will survive.
Lady Mara has purchased Midkemian slaves to further her financial ambitions. One of them keeps questioning Tsuranni traditions and infecting her with the most alien ideas. Will Kevin's ideas be a blessing to Mara or will they result in the end of House Acoma? ______________________________________________
Not sure if it counts, but I'm also reading a 500 page computer manual so I can build a controller for my greenhouse. Interesting but no plot.
