The Empress Who Drank the Hibiscus Tea

For seven years, Empress Archel Orse drank blood-red hibiscus tea for no other reason than that her consort, Kael, liked it, right up until the moment it killed her. With her dying breath she learned he had never loved her, not for a single moment. Now Archel has opened her eyes in the past, and this time she will protect her empire, expose the Grand Duke's treason and never fall for him again, even if it means confronting new feelings for the loyal knight Ren Cassius.
