The Golden Empress (Empire Of The Lost--Book #1)

Empress Myrelila thought she was strong. She's been ruling the Fifth Quadrant with an iron fist since she was twelve seasons old...or so she thought. Yet with the abrupt arrival of a new advisor, comes new perspective. The Empress is slapped with the realization she's been sheltered from the truth. Her people are restless. She must subdue them or risk an uprising. But quelling her subjects brings out an evil she didn't know existed.

Jorlan Fabletounge's is a liar. The legendary bard of the Fifth Quadrant is talented in many things, most of all in telling his lavish tales. Being a popular royal bard, he's the common man's friend, the nobles confident. Even though he's young, he's still sought after for wisdom. But Jorlan has a few secrets of his own. Behind the mask of jests and foolish legends is a dark tale that has come back to haunt him. And this one's definitely no fairy tale.

Neen Fiveblade is mortal. Though many say she is the goddess of revenge in mortal form, she's all too human. Most people don't even believe she exists, the ones who claim to have seen her are counted insane and the ones that aren't are found dead soon after. Neen does what no one else will do; clean the land of the people that have no right to live. She answers to no one, except the mysterious First Standing Of the Ultimate society. She's never let her target escape from her blade. Until a man in white and gold convinces her to spare his life. Neen might find herself on the other side of a sword if she's not careful.

Nryan is alive. He shouldn't be. Nryan been in a sleep since birth, never waking, needing substance, yet he exists. The fact he breaths fascinates all who know, they stupidly assume that since he can't wake, he can't think. But they are wrong. Nryan can think, see, and most importantly....touch.

Watch as these heroes and villains alike, move and shake this empire to it's knees. Will they pull together? Or will they shatter?
