Suffer No Kings

A magically empowered woman fights fearsome enemies, cultivates allies, and faces a pervasive evil as this progression fantasy continues.

Potestia may not have been built in a day, but it’ll burn in one. Lillith has already freed its slaves and relieved the people of their former king, but she doesn’t plan to stop there. With many of her safe houses discovered and enemies lurking in every corner, she has little time to rest anyway. Her only choice is to keep fighting. At least she has the wonderful Sarafyna to warm her heart―and watch her back.

There’s certainly plenty of work for them to do. Lillith and Sara are organizing communities, delivering essential supplies, and educating the common folk about mana. But Lillith isn’t sure just how firm a guiding hand she should have. She wants to empower these people to imagine their own world, without a monarch, but she can’t simply step back and allow another Potestia to rise up . . .

Unfortunately, some of the commoners want another monarch: Lillith. And they’d like her to find a king as well. Matchmakers, however, are the least of Lillith’s troubles. Enemies are hiding in the shadows and waiting to trap her, and all the while a war is brewing. A man claiming to be the rightful king wants to begin a revolution of his own, but can Lillith accept his vision over hers? Or will she be too busy lying in bed, fighting the deadly threat growing inside of her?

It’s a lot for one young woman to carry on her shoulders, but as usual Lillith is determined to meet the challenge.
