That's always been the way of the Flores Cartel and it was likely the first words I ever learned.My enemies are closer and clearer than ever before, but it's not just my future I have to survive. The past is the most bitter pill to swallow, especially when it won't let me go.There's no denying who I am and I know what I'm capable of now, but the question is; will I live to see my dark dream come to fruition? Or will I become just another dead body the cartel buries in its shallow grave while the citizens whisper rumors of La Reina failing before she ever had her chance to rule?Every story has an end, this is mine.Empire of Book 3 of the Reina Del Cartel series is a Why Choose, Dark Romance where the heroine doesn't have to choose between the morally gray anti-heroes trying to claim her for themselves, while she fights for the crown she is owed. This book should be read after Reign of Ruin Book 2 in the series.
