The Dragon Empress: A Knights of Death Book: Book 8 of the Death Dealer Saga

4.5/5 ( ratings)

Civil War has come to the Empire. For Maiha Nakatoma and her family the war is personal. The only Daughter of Death is on a crusade to restore the Red Empress to the Throne. Can she complete her goal and still keep her soul? Or will the Family of Nakatoma finally have to draw The Great Sword?
Kusanagi has been drawn and the Human Empire has a new Royal Family. The only Daughter of Death has been force to take her place on the Throne. A violent, and cowardly act has changed the course of the Civil War in ways that none could have foreseen. Even as Maiha plans for the upcoming battle in the New Egypt System events threaten to outpace her control.
The Trial of Refusal between her forces and those of the Holy Light Temple is more than just a simple battle between armies. For Maiha, it is her one chance at ending this war with minimal civilian casualties. Richelieu knows that he must win or everything he has planned for will go up in smoke and ash. Not even his allies are willing to face the wrath of Maiha Nakatoma alone. For them Richelieu must be placed on the throne. For there to be any other outcome would mean defeat and a very unpleasant Peace Treaty. In fifteen days it will all come down to who is the better Battlefield Commander. Because when all is said and done there will be a new Ruler for the Human Empire. Can Maiha still led her badly outnumbered forces to victory? Will the Second Generation Death Dealers, Knights of Ida-ten, and the few Elven Divisions lead by Queen Tatianna be enough to topple Richelieu’s Black Rose and Crimson Shield Temple Orders? And are the myths about the Shinigami Battle platforms true? Will the Midnight Fleet be enough to turn the tide of the battle? Only the Tides of Time hold the answers, and Maiha Nakatoma has broken her crystal ball.
