The price for saving the world is the right to rule it. After saving a faraway land, Lyn Rivers was cast back to Earth. Wanting the admiration, prestige, and glory of saving that realm, she forced her way back. But she was forgotten, and someone else claimed credit for her deeds. Now, with the power of a deity of destruction, she desires nothing more than to claim her place in history. To do that she will conquer dungeons, make alliances, destroy kingdoms, and build an empire. After all, why ruin the world when you can bend it to your will? What to expect: [+] Slow-burn empire building, interspersed with dungeon delves and character development. [+] Strong MC that works her way up to Overpowered. [+] Intense, interpersonal character drama. [+] POV swaps to secondary and tertiary characters to flesh out the world and build plot elements. [+] A deep magic system that is explained through the narrative. A custom magic language, blending Sindarin, Thalassian, Urdu, Gaelic, and a healthy dose of my linguistics background. [+] MC is bisexual. The character has an attraction to men and women. There are no romance plots. [+] This novel depicts the various unhealthy ways people cope with trauma, including but not limited to sadistic behavior, drinking, and drug use (none of which is glorified). Contains depictions of individuals suffering from PTSD presented in a respectful but real way. Cursing is prominent. Sexual content is strictly ‘fade to black’ with nothing explicit.
