About this listen

 The Saga of the Skolian Empire is Catherine Asaro's trademark series. It chronicles the lives of the members of the ruling family of the Empire in the distant interstellar future, weaving a fine blend of action, romance, and hard science fiction.

The Quantum Rose is the story of Kamoj Argali, the young ruler of an impoverished province on a backward planet. To keep her people from starving, she has agreed to marry Jax Ironbridge, ruler of the prosperous neighboring province. But before they can be wed, Kamoj is forced into marriage with a mysterious stranger from a distant planet, throwing her world into utter chaos.

Critic reviews

"Asaro's new Skolian Empire yarn bolsters her reputation for skillfully putting classic romance elements in an sf setting....Sound characterization, straightforward plotting, abundant world building detail, and almost as much humor." (Booklist)
