Her second family watches over her and works with her. We also meet Saadiq, who loves Empress from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet including her mind and soul. Saadiq by no means is soft, but he loves who he loves and that's enough for him.Empress is a force to be reckoned with all on her own, but throw in some greedy, shady, and shiesty people, the mix becomes deadly. Empress is hard and soft, but don't let her fool you. Cross her and you find that the end will quick. What do you do when your empire is threatened? What moves will you make? Check Empress out and you find out.
