The Never-Ending Empress: A Science Fantasy Dystopian Novel

By Sarita Laroche

In a dystopian world, Empress Sy rules supreme from behind a mask of lies and augury, until she tastes a blue fruit that changes everything. Already chosen to rule, can she also be the chosen one who will liberate? Whom should she trust to help find her truth: the Palace bodyguard, the charming ambassador, or the rebel General?

Prophecy is a dangerous vice.

Motivated by an age-old prophecy, a group of dissenters plot to remove the Empress from the Star Palace, believing she is the foretold Empress of legend. Their forces await her to command against the IQ, whom she has sworn to serve till the day she dies. No one realizes the limitations of her station or how deep the IQ's influence runs. But being forced to sojourn beyond the Palace Compound exposes her to millennia-old injustice and reopens childhood heartaches.

The rebels' faith in her is seductive. She dreams of rising above her station's constraints and making a real difference in her world. Finally free of the ever-watching Eye, she builds friendships, learns to trust her own instincts, and develops a sense of purpose she had never previously imagined. Nevertheless, how much of the prophecy should she trust when she knows herself to be nothing more than a proxy?

Is a prophecy worthy of risking everything?

Cozy sci-fi fantasy. Slow-burn (mostly) clean romance with plenty of twenty-somethings love entanglement. Perfect for fans of Under Different Stars or The Cure.
