The Broken Banner: A Grimdark Power Progression Fantasy (Queen of Conquest, 2)

In a war-torn city erupting in flames, a resurrected queen refuses to die quietly, in the second installment of this epic fantasy series. After being forced to fight as a gladiator and survive the horrors of Graedon’s colosseum, Lilliana Silverwater has emerged victorious. She’s since claimed the Desire System―the mysterious and often unpredictable power structure fueling her followers―as her own. Now, joined by her freed companions, she’s well on her way to turning their former captors into stepping stones on her path to queendom. For the soul of the indomitable Lilith still burns brightly within her, and she hungers for her crown. But conquest is never the end―it’s only the beginning. An unexpected war erupts in Sealrite when its ruler, Marquess Sharma, returns to reclaim his captured city from the hands of a powerful Lysorian noble known as Duke Alistair. Streets burn, loyalties fracture, and the two enemies collide over the same broken ground.
