Description
A Confusion of Princes by Garth Nix is a young adult science-fiction adventure set in a vast interstellar empire ruled by millions of enhanced Princes.
Khemri is taken from his family as a child and transformed through biological and technological enhancements before being trained to become one of the Empire’s Princes. Princes have extraordinary abilities—and an unusual form of immortality: if they die and are deemed worthy, they can be reborn.
But Khemri soon discovers the horrifying reality behind his privileged position: there are ten million Princes, and they are all competing against—and potentially killing—one another.
The novel combines space opera, political intrigue, adventure, technology and coming-of-age themes, with Khemri forced to question the Empire he was raised to serve.
