Rebel Prince

The Hand of Atua, Book 2

By: Charity Bradford

Narrated by: Chance Carrasco

He was never meant to survive the mines.

Amiran, only son of the Hatana, spent a year buried alive on Cassia—his punishment for stepping out of line in an empire ruled by fear. But when the chains are removed and he’s summoned back to serve in the imperial fleet, he discovers that freedom isn’t freedom at all. The uniform may be clean, but the cruelty runs just as deep.

Torn between who he was and who he must become, Amiran faces impossible choices: obey the ruthless general who tried to break him—or risk everything to hold on to what little humanity he has left. A stranger among soldiers and a threat among the elite, he walks a tightrope between survival and resistance.

The weight of legacy crushes him. The throne, once distant, now looms. But before he can change the empire, he must decide what kind of man he’s willing to become—and what he’s willing to sacrifice to get there.

Perfect for fans of Red Rising and The Bone Shard Daughter—this space opera blends empire, rebellion, and aching humanity with slow-burning revolution.
