Rebirth of the Forsaken Empress - Synopsis Betrayed and left for dead, an elite assassin awakens in the frail body of Empress Selene Valeria-reviled, abandoned, and imprisoned in the Cold Palace. Once discarded by the emperor and falsely accused of poisoning a favored concubine, Selene wasted away in despair. But this is no longer her story. Determined to rewrite fate, the assassin refuses to beg for love or power. Instead, she vows to reclaim her dignity, outmaneuver the treacherous court, and most of all-protect the one person the former empress abandoned: her son, Crown Prince Caius. With sharp wit and deadly skill, she will show the empire that she is no longer a helpless pawn but a ruler in her own right. And if anyone dares to stand in her way, they will learn-too late-that this empress was once an assassin who never failed a mission.

"In a village where silence was sacred, one woman dared to speak." In Obioma Village, every important decision begins with the breaking of kolanuts. But when Adaeze's husband dies, the elders decide that she cannot inherit his workshop because "a woman does not speak when kolanuts are broken." Adaeze has two choices: stay silent like generations before her, or carve her voice into something that cannot be ignored. When Adaeze questions the old ways, thunder answers and fire follows. Her courage stirs the earth, tests faith, and awakens a people long bound by fear. Her defiance will stir her village, shake her beliefs, and teach her that sometimes, the sound of becoming whole. A moving tale of hope, womanhood, and the power of one voice to change everything. 💕 Thank you for reading new episodes every week! Dorathy E.
