"The Lords of Light are pleased to receive your offerings; be sure you have found favour in their sight..."
Does she have what it takes to save her people?
Following the tragic death of her mother and disownment by her father, Kyria finds herself an orphan and an outcast in the fishing village she once considered her home.
With dark skin she inherited from her mother, Kyria is different. And difference will not help her in the events that lie ahead.
When Kyria is selected for a ‘special worship’, she realises who her enemies truly are and the power to which her village people are subjected. Selected for this worship, Kyria is abandoned to die an a low-lying sea cave.
Through the power of belief and her own iron will – and with the help of the mysterious lightstones – Kyria manages to escape. Aware of a reality unknown to the villagers, Kyria attempts to share this knowledge following her escape.
However, she is recaptured and exiled to a harsh prison Island.
Meanwhile, The Imperial Heir, Hilarion, grandson of the elderly Emperor, undergoes several tests to ensure he is capable of ruling upon the Emperor’s death.
Shadowing his grandfather, Hilarion soon becomes aware of the evil lies of the Lords of Light.
With the recent drought brought upon them, the harvest of grains is poor. In turn, the villagers, unknowingly, settle for higher priced portions of grain. The Lord of Light’s plan rapidly becomes apparent to Hilarion, and amidst spies and enemies, he seeks the Lightbearer … the one prophesied to save the land…
Hilarion awaits the Lightbearer. Kyria awaits Fate.
For fans of epic fantasy adventure by the likes of Robin Hobb and Ursula K. Le Guin, Imperial Light is a race against time across sweltering deserts, from magical, god-touched temples to wondrous corrupt cities.
About Mary Corran
Mary Corran was born the younger daughter of an art historian and an Aegean Archeologist, which may explain the influence of Greek culture and history on her fantasy novels. Instead of pursuing an academic career, she decided to be a child of the seventies and travel overland to India and back. The need to develop a career sent her back to university to read History at Oxford, and marry a fellow student. After working in the City as an oil analyst for ten years, Mary went on to write the fantasy trilogy Imperial Light, Darkfell and Fate, which Venture Press will be publishing. Also available, a memoir chronicling her years of illness, Wasteland. She currently lives in Eastbourne, United Kingdom, where she is writing a new novel.
Imperial Light eBook Mary Corran
As reviewed on my blog The Protagonists Pub:Imperial Light by Mary Corran was originally published in 1993 and republished by Venture Press on September 18, 2015. This was a new author for me and a read from Net Galley.
Kyria is the heroine of this engaging fantasy novel and from the very beginning of the novel she is an interesting character whom you instantly connect. The death of her mother, her cold and unloving father begin Kyria’s story. This isn’t a coming of age story or journey of self-discovery, rather this is complex storytelling with plenty of timeless political and religious commentary lurking under the surface. Kyria isn’t the only protagonist in the story however, there is always the mirror opposite struggle of Hilarion, the heir apparent to the throne.
There is no blatant politic or religious preaching rather, the storytelling speaks for itself without demanding the reader acquiesce to the viewpoint of the author. There are truly beautiful scenes and heart wrenching ones. The reader is transported easily to the world and struggle of Kyria, her companions and Hilarion and his associates.
Five out of five stars for the quality of the writing and an engaging story.

Imperial Light eBook Mary Corran Reviews
Corran delivers an engaging and easy to absorb fantasy novel that probably deserves a half star less simply because it is a bit predictable and feels like I've read most of the elements elsewhere. But for other readers I think this is a strong enough read that is well enough written to be a satisfying addition to any shelf or reading device.
