Throughout the course of the book she discovers their dark plans for her, uncovers the truth of her own origins, and realizes she has powers far beyond anything she ever imagined. It sounds too good to be true… and Bianca is too smart to believe it, but the Letnev want her for something, and she’ll take any chance to get off the planet. Then an official from the Barony warship arrives at Bianca’s home, and tells an unbelievable story: Bianca is actually the secret heir of an aristocratic Letnev family, essentially a princess, and they want to take her home, drape her in jewels, and give her the riches and power she’s inherited. Until ships arrive from the Barony of Letnev, claiming that Darit is their territory now, and that all the inhabitants are now citizens of the Barony, with all the rights (not many) and responsibilities (taxes, deference to their new rulers, etc.) that entails.
Bianca reads old books and gazes up at the night sky, dreaming of exploring the galaxy, but nobody ever leaves Darit, and nobody from other worlds ever visits. Her parents found her abandoned in the woods when she was a baby, and she imagines secret origins and vast destinies for herself. Tim Pratt: A young woman named Bianca Xing lives with her adopted parents on the bucolic backwater planet of Darit, a forgotten mining colony. Track of Words: To start with, could you give us an overview of what The Necropolis Empire is about?
