Lionstone XIV

Lionstone XIV (character)
Lionstone XIV, aka "The Iron Bitch," ruled over the human Empire and was known as one of the most powerful and most cruel Monarchs of the last few centuries. She usually took care of her enemies by killing them. Since the military always stood behind her, rebellion was just a dream never to come true during her long reign. The final rebellion to overthrow her is the main plot of the first three books. The anthology "Twilight of the empire" took place in the time when Lionstone was strongest, shortly before the great rebellion. Lionstone is described as a stunningly beautiful woman with light blond hair and eyes as cold as ice.
