Emperor Of Firon (Spinning Empires, #1)

An empire built on blood. A crown tangled in lies. And a girl the world forgot, now at its center.
In the cold-blooded empire of Firon, power is not inherited-it's taken. Behind its gilded walls, queens smile with poison behind their teeth, noble houses sharpen their alliances like daggers, and ministers whisper rebellions into velvet sleeves. The emperor grows older. The succession war grows louder. And across the empire, commoners pray for peace while their homes burn beneath banners they no longer recognise.
Amid it all stands Aneria, once a voiceless Neketis-a royal slave, spared only for her beauty, raised in silence beneath silks and snow. She was never meant to speak, never meant to lead.
Now she does both.
From forgotten concubine to Crown Princess, Aneria rises, with frost in her blood and fire behind her eyes. She fights not for the throne, but for reckoning. For the women sold like coin. For the slaves dressed as ornaments. For the empress with no power, the queens who claw for survival, and the people crushed beneath centuries of empire.
But every rise casts a shadow.
The Second Queen, ruthless and regal, weaves her sons toward the crown with venom-drenched threads. The Fourth Queen, quiet and watchful, walks between loyalty and treason. Royal heirs plot each other's deaths behind charming smiles. Ministers choose sides behind closed doors. And the noble houses? They remember everything-and forgive nothing.
As the empire fractures, wars bloom like fire across its borders. Legends are born. Monsters, too.
And in the midst of it all walks a girl who cannot lie-
and refuses to be forgotten.
This is the story of an empire on the brink. Of power, sacrifice, and the many who will burn to remake the world-or survive it.
