You have to be sneaky about tyranny.

​

The Silver king is as good as dead, which is a dream come true for Laila. It's not that she's holding a grudge about the whole unrequited love thing... yes, all right, she is, but she also has a plan.

 

It's a good plan. A plan that doesn't involve pandering to petty annoyances like 'morals' or the 'truth'. After all, the Silver are not moral creatures.

​

And she can make it appear necessary. Appealing, even. All she needs is a few key allies, and the city will be hers.

The Blue Empress is a short story prequel to the Sovereign series.
