empire

Dynasties rise and fall but the 300 year old Targaryen dynasty has prevailed. With some arguing the dragon monarchy is rotting and has had its day, a teenage boy is thrust into the most senior position of power and must assume responsibility of an entire realm whilst juggling his family, foreign powers and romance. He must preserve his house's authority and make a name for himself that lives up to his ancestors. Or after the death of his father and brother, Jon Snow ascends the Iron Throne - becoming the King of the Seven Kingdoms and the head of House Targaryen.

Co-authored by Rebecca Thomson aka Zekkers. Hit in the leg by a stormtrooper's blaster bolt, Luke falls in the Death Star hanger bay and is unable to escape on the Falcon along with Han and Leia. During the subsequent interrogation, his true heritage is revealed and Vader instantly takes him to Coruscant, determined to reclaim the son the Jedi stole from him. But the glory of the Imperial capital belies its true nature, where politics and power are everything and anything is fair game in the never ending game to reach the top. Not lying, not betrayal, assassination, sabotage, blackmail, nor seduction.As he commences his Sith training, Luke must also learn the rules and etiquette of the Imperial Court if he is to survive as most of his enemies fight their battles with words and political maneuverings rather than military force. Yet, even as he struggles to gain his place within the Empire, Luke learns that his best friend has joined the Alliance...

It's been six months since the Rebels destroyed the Empire’s latest superweapon. Now, our heroes face a new challenge. Will they be able to escape the evil Empire while facing dastardly danger? Will their ships end up as doomed derelicts, drifting through the endless expanse of space? Only time will tell… (Yes, I admit I'm having frivolous fun with these amazing aliterations.)
