Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Empress Game is a planned Science Fiction trilogy by Rhonda Mason. The first book, also titled The Empress Game, was released in 2015. The second, Cloak of War, was released in 2016; the third, Exile's Throne, is due in 2017.The story centres on Kayla Reinumon, a gladiator on a backwater planet who is asked (not very politely) to participate in the titular Empress Game. The fight determines who marries the heir to the Sakien Empire's throne, and although it's supposed to be a princesses-only event, one particular aspirant to the throne lacks combat skills and wants Kayla to secretly take her place. Kayla is motivated by a secret about her past that she wants to keep: she's already a princess anyway, having survived the massacre of her family when the empire conquered her homeworld. Accepting the deal provides a convenient escape from those looking for her, but at the same time, plunging into the heart of imperial politics isn't exactly free of problems. She has to keep her secret from her new "allies" (some of whom, as it happens, were involved in the aforementioned massacre), while also dealing with the traitor who sold her homeworld to the empire in the first place, who has his own interest in her. And then there's the little matter of winning the Empress Game itself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Blood Sport: Gladiatorial combat is fairly common, and Kayla is the reigning champion of one particular arena. It's on a backwater planet, but she's good enough to attract attention from people who want her to (secretly and illegally) fight in the titular Empress Game, which has similar rules but is supposed to be determining who marries the Prince. | |

| The Empress Game / int_31cd5fe7 | comment |
Apologetic Attacker: There's a degree of this from Janeen after she betrays Malkor's team, as she keeps saying that it "wasn't supposed to be like this" and that nobody was supposed to get hurt. However, it's a pretty poor apology, since it's peppered with self-justification and blame-shifting along the lines of "if you'd only accepted it peacefully, it wouldn't have come to this". | |

Becoming the Mask: Kayla fears that this will happen after Isonde is put in a coma by an attack, since Kayla's temporary imposture then becomes indefinite. | |
