A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires

Elizabeth Leiston has spent her life preparing to become queen of Haldoria, only for the crown prince to cancel their engagement in public, have her imprisoned, and fill the kingdom with lies about her. The betrayal destroys any loyalty she still feels toward the country she served. Encouraged by her faithful maid Mireille, Elizabeth escapes across the border and begins again under the name Ellie Leis. She is no helpless exile: seven powerful grimoires give her the means to turn anger into a carefully planned campaign. Ellie starts gathering money, influence, allies, and military strength, determined to punish everyone who ruined her life. What began as a broken engagement becomes a direct threat to Haldoria itself, as its former future queen prepares to bring her homeland to its knees.
