From barbarian slavery to conquest and treachery
For centuries, the Khmar have eked out a nomadic existence on the fringes of civilisation. Tenzhin is only a boy when his tribe strikes deep into the Jin Empire and faces the might of the Jade Emperor. After his father is killed before his eyes, he is plunged into a new world ancient, courtly – and brutal.
Adopted by the Emperor, the boy must forget his old life and learn to survive the challenges of life as a prince. Tenzhin must perfect his mind, his soul and finally his body, in order to prepare for what lies ahead. Allies are few and far between, and eventually he must face the biggest trial of them all…
Emperor’s Bane is a novella set in the Tales of the Empire universe. A gritty tale based on the Mongolian invasions of imperial China, it will engross readers of Guy Gavriel Kay and Conn Iggulden.

Emperor’s Bane Tales of the Empire eBook SJA Turney
Emperor's Bane is a novella set in the world of Tales Of The Empire (or TOTE as referred to by the author). Chronologically I believe it's set some time after the events of Dark Empress but before the events of Insurgency. The story is set in third person omniscient view and the reader views it all through the mind of Tenzhin (this world's analogue for the creator of the Mongol empire).Tenzhin Khanzada is the son of the Khan of the nine Khmar tribes. His father has begun a rather quick invasion to rid the Jin (Chinese) people of their lush lands and to take them for themselves. The war rally while being successful in the start meets its brutal end at the hands of the main Jin army at the gates of Jiong-Xhu. While most of the tribes men and women are wiped out brutally. Tenzhin along with a few other children are spared and taken into the Jade emperor's court. There we get to see Tenzhin's growth (mentally, martially & philosophically) from the age of seven all the way to seventeen. This however is done rather quickly as befitting a short story.
On the way Tenzhin meets and befriends three other children from the horse tribes of the west who have been similarly captured. They plan a way out of their captivity because of the Jade emperor's poor health but what truly is the case ends up surprising them. This short novelette was a good way to be re-introduced to the eastern world of TOTE. events from Interregnum are quickly referenced and certain things are clued about Insurgency. The main storyline deals with Tenzhin as the reader is clued in to his growth from a child to a brilliant teenager.
I can only imagine what he will grow into considering whom he's based on in real life but the crucial difference being in this world, he's armed with more dangerous knowledge than the Genghis Khan at his age. The story has a quick pace to it and the reader will pulled into it sharply all the way into the surprising climax. The author doesn't pull any punches with regards to violence and brutality of this world and considering the historical aspect, it's not surprising.
A quick and good read is the best way to describe this story. For all those curious about the world and SJA Turney's writing, grab a copy (it's less than a buck) and find out why he's so underrated and yet beloved among his fans.

Emperor’s Bane Tales of the Empire eBook SJA Turney Reviews
INteresting
Great read
Good fictional series by Mr. Turney..enjoyed series tremendously..great writing!
This is a little teaser of a short story that is a set up for another novel in the series. I enjoyed it.
This is a must read for anyone who is going to read Insurgency. As the background history of the Tenzhin Khan, it provides the needed understanding of what drives his desire for becoming the leader of the Empire, and most importantly, the means by which he intends to destroy the city of Velutio.
After a violent and soul crushing event in his child hood, a young man sees a rare opportunity to gain his freedom. He seizes it with the help of few friends, and sets the stage for what could be a great series of adventures. Looking forward to the next one.
Very, very good. There are very few writers that portray Romes military conquests as well as SJA Turney. Well worth the price and I hope there will be more from this author. If you are interested in the Roman Legions and military fiction, this is one auther that is a must read.
