The second book in The Empress Irini Series, charting the extraordinary rise to power of Irini of Athens.

Irini of Athens faces numerous threats to her safety in Constantinople, including her cunning mother-in-law, her five jealous step-brothers, and her own husband, Co-Emperor Leon. To navigate this perilous situation, she calls upon Abbess Thekla, her trusted confidante and skilled knife-wielder. Thekla owes Irini her life and unwavering loyalty, but she is deeply shocked by Irini's ambitious aspirations, which far surpass her desire to be a submissive wife and mother.

As Irini's pregnancy progresses, Thekla must confront the wrath of Irini's vengeful nature and the bloody consequences of her ruthless ambition. Can Thekla survive the treacherous terrain and the aftermath of Irini's treacherous actions?

Stay tuned for more thrilling installments in The Empress Irini Series!
