For years, a small kernel of hope for my freedom was all that kept me alive while imprisoned by the brutal Thaician Emperor, Malakai. Now, those wishing to return me to him threaten everything I’ve fought so desperately for.

With the lives of my loved ones on the line, I have no choice but to seek out the very people I swore to destroy with my Blood Oath. The clock is ticking. Moves are being made. New opponents have stepped into the light. Old enemies threaten to crumble everything I thought I once knew to the ground. Despite the chaos around me, one thing has remained true: I'm out for blood. This will be the final checkmate.

Running to a new realm that could hold vital information is our only chance. With that comes closing the distance between me and the godly powers that wish to use me for their own gain. What we need is time to uncover secrets and unlock the powers that reside within me, but that's a commodity we aren't granted. When the time comes to make our final stand, will I finally be able to let go of the doubt that's been festering my entire life? Will hope be able to cast out the shadows lurking round my mind and soul? I have to believe that it will.

The weight of the world suddenly crashes on my shoulders, and I'm not sure how long I can carry it. I'm not like the heroes I've read about in books—I've just barely started understanding my powers, how am I going to save anyone? Could the Fates have screwed up, putting me on this path? When bodies begin to drop, it's crystal clear: time is up. Do I tuck tail and hide with my monsters, or do I stand tall and fight for the first place I've ever felt like I could call home?

A decision is made and the chess board for the war is set. An alpha queen versus a demon king, both fighting for love. The fates' plans are in motion and the final chance to vanquish the enemies quickly approaches. Can the light pierce the darkness once and for all?

Thrall. Dhamphyr. Empress. Each is a title that has been thrust upon me, but there’s another I’ll willingly claim for myself: Malakai’s executioner. He thought he could break me, twist me into his obedient pet–but all he has done is add to the list of reasons why I’ll find and kill him.

Nothing in the Vothia Empire is what it seems, and the most dangerous illusion of all might be the one wrapped around Elysia's heart. As hidden agendas sharpen into betrayal and old rules begin to crack, Elysia and Rhune struggle to navigate their past and present worlds. Forbidden, consuming, and laced with danger, their connection threatens more than Elysia's heart—it threatens everything and everyone around them.

It's time to become the queen I was prophesied to be. The journey to save my kingdom and restore balance to the realm might break me, but I'll be damned if I give up without one hell of a fight. I'm not that arrogant girl they all knew in my previous life. Let them underestimate me, it'll make victory that much sweeter. I'm coming for your Anshar, and not in the way you'd like.

My new role is not to be taken lightly, but I don't even know where the hell to start. I've had to learn to be vulnerable enough to admit when I need help from those that I trust, and right now...I need all the help I can get in the oncoming war. I must gather the Queens and their armies from all of the realms and pray that we can formulate a plan to destroy Erebus and his dark army for good.
