A CONFUSION OF
PRINCES Will be released in

UK Waterstones
A&U Galaxy Shearers A major standalone space opera, this
is Garth Nix’s first novel for older readers since the conclusion of
the A grand adventure that spans galaxies
and lifetimes, A Confusion of Princes is also a page-turning action
adventure. These are the three deaths of Prince Khemri. Told in his own words, we follow him as he
trains to become a Prince of the Empire, an enhanced human being, equipped
with biological and technological improvements that make him faster,
stronger and smarter than any ordinary person. Not to mention the ultimate
benefit: should he die, and be deemed worthy, he will be reborn… Which is just as well, because no
sooner has Prince Khemri graduated to full Princehood than he learns the terrible truth behind the
Empire: there are ten million princes, and all of them want each other
dead, because there can only be one Emperor… The book shares a background with the
online game IMPERIAL GALAXY,
which we still hope to relaunch in 2012, if we
can gather sufficient funds to do some essential work. DOWN TO THE SCUM QUARTER RETURNS Your beautiful mistress,

taking me to sell to a desert chieftain at an auction, which I think is going
to take place at midnight. And I was going to wear my new dress with the
ruby chips sewn on cloth of gold, and the peacock feather fan from . . . Though I haven’t
