I was never meant to inherit the throne of my father’s empire. I was trained to be his secret weapon, not his successor. But when my family was slaughtered, their blood staining the legacy I never wanted, I became the last heir to a syndicate that bows to no queen. They expect me to fail. To fall. To be swallowed whole by the enemies who circle like vultures. But I am not the broken girl they left for dead. With a mercenary who trusts no one at my side and a war brewing in the shadows, I will take back what is mine. No matter the cost. They thought I was a pawn in their game. They were wrong. I am the queen. And I’ve come for vengeance.
