The story of how I defied my father, and became the first woman to rule my tribe, and soon... My empire. This is the story of The First Tribal Queen.

And the Void remembers everything. A slow-burn dark fantasy of revenge, forbidden power, and a destiny paid in the ashes of two worlds. When the weakest becomes the end of everything, even the heavens will learn to fear the color black. Because when the Void opens its eye... worlds end.
