Lucy Wickshire is feared across realms because of her family history. The thraines have always been a clan of passive warriors that one dared not provoke. Still, it did not stop those above from breaking the pact and descending into the rankless world to kill Lucy's mother. Seeing her mother die before her eyes, Lucy had understood then; she was not a child anymore, she was a threat. It was either them or her. So she straightened her back and reigned down fear that put her mother's legacy to shame. As long as she lived, all realms must kneel or burn. 
You are about to read the accounts of Lucy Wickshire and the millions of bodies burned as a backdrop to her rage.

If You are still reading here, I have started reposting on the other free Lucy Wickshire. For those who are confused, there are two versions of this book on this platform. This happened during the signing. The other one does not have locked chapters and I have started posting there because I am considering the future chapters of this book going free as a perk, since this author has been on hiatus too long and most of you have left. Thus, this is an olive branch to return. Right now, the other Lucy Wickshire has not caught up with this one in chapters, but go ahead and add it to your library and vote on it to get it up the charts.

Lucy Wickshire

"Mother!" the empress dowager panicked. Her son may be emperor and their land may be stable, but that was only because they did not have one, but two Thraines. If they leave, then what? All those who have been secretly eyeing their borders would move. At first, they were all weary as the grand Empress dowager was getting old, but Lady Vion suddenly popped up and they relaxed again. Even though her existence only propped up King Ju, it was better than having no Thraine. 


"Leaving? Leaving?" the emperor could not seem to understand. 


"Discard of all these women and rule like a worthy emperor. Using women to secure your rule; are you not ashamed?" the empress dowager ordered. 


"Grandmother, I will dispose of them, just don't leave okay?" the emperor immediately agreed. The concubines we immediately scared. One of them quickly got on her knees.
