She inherited power. But she was born for vengeance.

They called him untouchable.
Alexander Meraude ruled an international syndicate with iron logic and a velvet touch.
And when he died under mysterious circumstances, the world expected the empire to fall with him.

But they didn't count on Selene.

A grieving widow in black.
Unknown. Untrained. Underestimated.
She walked into a world of weapons, betrayal, and blood-soaked tradition—and made it hers.

With every bullet fired, every secret exposed, and every rival crushed, she didn't just claim a throne.
She rewrote the rules.

From the shadowy backstreets of Marseille to the brutal peaks of the Pyrenees, Selene carved her name into legend—not as a queen, but as a storm. As a reckoning.

But power never comes without cost.
And peace? That was never part of the plan.

This is not a love story.
This is not a redemption tale.

This is the story of a woman who lost everything—and built something terrifying in return.

This is the rise of The Widow's Empire.
