b'This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Erin M. Evans, author of EMPIRE OF EXILES.
\\nAbout EMPIRE OF EXILES: Twenty-seven years ago, a Duke with a grudge led a ruthless coup against the empire of Semilla, killing thousands. He failed. The Duke was executed, a terrifyingly powerful sorcerer was imprisoned, and an unwilling princess disappeared.
\\nThe empire moved on.
\\nNow, when Quill, an apprentice scribe, arrives in the capital city, he believes he’s on a simple errand for another pompous noble: fetch ancient artifacts from the magical Imperial Archives. He’s always found his apprenticeship to a lawman to be dull work. But these aren’t just any artifacts \\u2014 these are the instruments of revolution, the banners under which the Duke lead his coup.
\\nJust as the artifacts are unearthed, the city is shaken by a brutal murder that seems to have been caused by a weapon not seen since the days of rebellion. With Quill being the main witness to the murder, and no one in power believing his story, he must join the Archivists \\u2014 a young mage, a seasoned archivist, and a disillusioned detective \\u2014 to solve the truth of the attack. And what they uncover will be the key to saving the empire \\u2013 or destroying it again.
