Gabriela's world was defined by the dim lanterns of the brothel and the scent of cheap ale-until the night the shadows took her. Dragged into the suffocating silence of the ancient forest, she was pushed to the very edge of death. But as her breath began to fail, the forest didn't take her life; it offered her a crown. An enigmatic crone appeared from the mist, pressing a heavy, glowing pendant into Gabriela's palm. It wasn't just jewelry-it was a key. Unknown to Gabriela, she had been touched by Lalahon, the goddess of fire and volcanoes. The heat that once threatened to consume her now lived within her veins. Reborn from the ashes of her old life, she rose as La Fiery. She is no longer the prey; she is the flame that hunts the darkness, bringing a scorching justice to the oppressed and a blinding light to every woman trapped in the shadows she once called home.

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ] Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE
