Synopsis

The key to controlling the galaxy is hidden on a distant planet, and interplanetary powers will do anything to unlock its secrets, in this epic space opera from the best-selling game, Twilight Imperium

Bianca Xing has spent a lifetime on a provincial planet, dreaming of travelling the stars. When her planet is annexed by the Barony of Letnev, Bianca finds herself being taken into custody, told that she's special—the secret daughter of a brilliant scientist, hidden away on a remote planet for her own safety. But the truth about Bianca is stranger. There are secrets hidden in her genetic code that could have galaxy altering consequences. Driven by an incredible yearning and assisted by the fearsome Letnev Captain, Dampierre, Bianca must follow her destiny to the end, even if it leads to places that are best left forgotten.

Goodreads review by Irene

If you took Belle from Beauty and the Beast, made her very self-aware, and put her in space, you'd get something close to Bianca Xing at the beginning, and then you'd quickly realise this is not that kind of story.

Goodreads review by Michael

The Necropolis Empire by Tim Pratt is the second book set in the Twilight Imperium universe. It is not really a sequel, however.
