About

Wealth fades. It’s what we build in others that endures. Be diligent, be charitable, and someday, bounty will come our way. Catherine believed in those words. They were her father’s, and the creed her town lived by. But when a gift from him leads her to a buried artefact, tragedy follows close behind, shattering the life she thought she knew. Determined to reclaim what was taken from her, Catherine embarks on a ruthless pursuit of power, wealth, and dominion. What begins as grief turns to ambition and obsession, setting her on a path that will transform her into something far more dangerous than anyone could have imagined. In Hemera, kindness does not survive untested, and Catherine’s desperation will drive her to become the most powerful sorceress the world has ever known, no matter the cost. What to expect: *A villainess tale *Early slice-of-life elements *Slow-burn rise to power *Dark fantasy undertones *Occasional dungeon raids *Morally gray progression *Kingdom building (later)
