About The Book

In the empire of the Wicked, cruelty is not a sin, it is a birthright. Fables of the Fairest Folk: Despotika of the Depths follows Princess Nemahsis Corinthian, heir to a dynasty where betrayal is law, mercy is weakness, and survival is the only crown worth wearing.

From the opulent chambers of City Imperium’s Grand Pyramid to the haunted depths of forbidden seas, Nemahsis is forced to navigate a matriarchal empire steeped in sorcery, rebellion, and blood-soaked fables. Her story weaves together ancient myths, scheming queens, and supernatural forces that threaten to unravel not only her family, but the empire itself.

Dark, lyrical, and unflinching, Despotika of the Depths is the first volume in an epic saga that blends gothic atmosphere with mythic scale, a tale that dares to ask: what price must be paid for power, and who will be left to rule the ruins?
