The Evil Queen's Regime (The Omniversal Guardians) Hardcover – March 28, 2026

A shattered goddess. A poisoned fairytale. A crown she never wanted.Lana, heir to the power of a cosmic Dark Lord, is the last survivor of her fallen omniverse. Cast adrift, she finds herself in a storybook realm that seems like a quiet sanctuary. There, she meets the kind Prince Krisaphor, who offers her a home and his heart. But this kingdom is not the simple haven it appears to be. It is a gilded cage, haunted by the murders of its former queens...Krisaphor's mother and grandmother.As Lana investigates, she uncovers a conspiracy that goes beyond a single king's treachery, one that systematically dismantled peace and targeted the powerful women who built it. Guided by the cunning Rumpelstiltskin and the ghosts of the past, Lana is drawn into a web of fate that prophesies a terrifying destiny for her: she will become the realm's Evil Queen.The narrative unfolds across two timelines:The Past: A grieving refugee, Lana must navigate a court of lies, hide her god-like power, and confront her growing feelings for the prince, all while gathering evidence against his father. Every step towards the truth is a step towards betraying the one person who showed her kindness.The Present: Lana now rules as the feared Evil Queen, a ruthless sovereign who maintains a fragile peace through control and fear. Protecting her young daughter is her only priority, a mission that forces her to make dark alliances and confront the ghosts of her own tragic past, including the siblings who abandoned her and the "heroes" who see her as a monster.As these two timelines converge, a greater threat emerges from the shadows, revealing that the story Lana thought she was in is far larger and more dangerous than she ever imagined. To save her daughter and her kingdom, she must embrace the title the world fears and decide what kind of queen she will truly be: a tyrant of darkness, or the architect of a new order.Perfect for fans of The Witcher, Once Upon a Time, and Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles, The Evil Queen's Regime is a dark, sprawling epic that explores the cost of power, the weight of legacy, and the blurred lines between villain and hero in a war for the soul of a story.
