Heirs to the Empire

There are more than a thousand ways to kill someone, and Hali knows them all. Bonded to the Assassin's Guild, she has been saving to buy out her contract. Now she only has only one last job to do, but suddenly everything is going wrong, and she'll be lucky if she survives.
The Emperor Darius Michael Roald Barantas IV, Kith of Samsula, Prior of the Universal Tree, Lord Head of House Barantas, Ruler of a Hundred Worlds, and Emperor of all Proxima is a man named Mike, and he has decided to quit his job. Unfortunately, the only way he can do this is to die and that's not what he has in mind.
Julian Mateus, Lord Desmond of the Proxima Empire, lives with secrets, and one in particular that could get him killed. Mike is one of the few people who can call this vampire a friend, but how far will friendship go when an empire is at stake and a fist-full of heirs are fighting over the title?

Electing a new emperor is serious business and everyone in the empire has a part to play. No one dares to stay away even though getting involved just might cost them their lives!
And then there's the cat
