Empress of Fire

**Empress of Fire** The world whispers theories about monsters—divine punishment, tragic circumstance, or inherent cruelty. They’re all wrong. Niara was neither accident nor inevitability. She chose. Once a healer with gentle hands, she now walks a path of ash and blood, wielding flames that devour kingdoms. Her rise is no tragedy; it’s calculation. Every betrayal, every life taken, is a step toward dominion. But power demands sacrifice, and the line between ruler and tyrant blurs with each throne she claims. As empires crumble beneath her wrath, a single question remains: Can a woman who embraced the monster within ever turn back—or is the fire that forged her destined to consume everything, even herself?
