The Crimson Claw

The second in a new three-part saga from Lucasfilm. Ampris has begun her exile. She has learned the archival history of the Viis empire, its language, its weaknesses. Now she will learn to harness the innate savagery of her race in the gladiatorial arena--fighting for sport, life, and the chance to lead a desperate battle for the future of the slave races. Meanwhile, Israi, the Viis princess, is coming of age as well. The childhood friend of Ampris is about to become queen of the Viis empire--and Ampris's mortal enemy. Simultaneous release with the Boulevard paperback.
