For three thousand years in a post-apocalyptic world, Divine gave men in the Inlecebra family green blood to rule the Inlecebra Empire—until Vienna. Fourteen-year-old Vienna learns she’s the first female to be born with green blood, and that her father was the emperor until the thieving Lumiantors killed him and took his throne. Vienna must work with Han, a sharp-tongued advisor from the capital city, to gather a large army and march into the capital to take back her family's throne. But she first must overcome her subjects and her own mother, who doubt her legitimacy.
