THE GOLDEN LION THRONE, THE CENTER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE
There is no higher power than the Emperor, but the more power and wealth he has, the more his ambition grows. To make an ally of House Corrino is to ally with the force that controls the Known Universe. Those in the Emperor’s grace can wield unspeakable power, as long as they never forget where it comes from.
But beyond Kaitain, beyond Arrakis, beyond your House, lie countless other orders and factions, each with their own agenda and specialist skills. The deadly Ginaz swordmasters, the despicable Tleilaxu and the noble Suk school might each be an ally if you know how to offer them the right price.
Power and Pawns: The Emperor’s Court is a complete 144 page supplement that lays bare the secrets of the Imperium as well as a host of new factions and campaign options to bring your Dune: Adventures in the Imperium game to the next level. No longer mere agents of your House, now you are its rulers, and with this wealth and power comes a host of new duties, enemies and opportunities, if you know where to look.
Power and Pawns: The Emperor’s Court includes:
- An in-depth look at the Emperor’s Court and the Imperial homeworld of Kaitain, life at court and the entertainments and distractions available on the most beautiful planet in the Known Universe.
- A look at the brutal Sardaukar, the deadliest fighters in the Imperium, and how to use them as player characters with a host of new abilities.
- The secrets of the Tleilaxu laid bare, including the option to use Face Dancers as player characters and new options for Mentats.
- An array of new talents and skills for graduates of the Ginaz sword school and the Suk medical school, including six new Drive options for any character.
- The mysterious planet of Ix and the advanced technology of House Vernius revealed.
- A host of detail for the gamemaster on running political campaigns and creating complex intrigues.
- Notes for players with ambition detailing how they can take control of their House or take a role within it, and destroy the reputation of those in their way, be they ally or enemy.
- A complete adventure ‘Blood and Riches’ where the player characters must negotiate a tense conflict between two great Houses that might plunge the Imperium into war.
The fate of your House is in your hands, its rise only limited by your ambition and perhaps your ruthlessness.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love.
I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."
