Deposed Empress Maria

“Wait. From this moment forward, I will deliver divine punishment.”

Maria had devoted everything to her role as empress, standing tall beside the emperor and carrying out her duties with unwavering loyalty. She believed in love, in trust, in the bonds she had built. But in the end, what did all her sacrifices amount to?

Betrayal—cruel, deliberate, and devastating. The very people she held dear turned against her. Her husband, whom she had once loved, and her closest friend, whom she had trusted beyond reason, shattered every illusion she had. And as if that weren’t enough, she was powerless to stop them from taking away the ones she cherished most.

Cast aside like an afterthought, Maria was stripped of everything—her title, her honor, her place in the empire. Exiled to a foreign land, humiliated and broken, she was left with nothing but the remnants of a life she had once known. But even in her darkest hour, something within her refused to be extinguished.

This was not her downfall. It was the beginning of something far greater.
