Oh, honey, I’m so glad you asked. See, I’m the new boss around here. Name’s Thomasina—but you? You can call me Your Majesty. Or Empress, if you’re feeling fancy. I didn’t just take the throne—I built it from the ashes. Now kneel, sweetheart. Welcome to my reign.

These weren’t the eyes of a 20-year-old girl, but of a seasoned warrior—one who had seen and done too much. Once, she’d been a “teen with attitude.” That was ages ago. Five long years. This was now. And it was her future. She ruled what once was America. Now? It was called the Dragon Empire
