Before she was legend, she was a girl with nothing—and she burned the world to become queen.
Babylonia is the rage-fueled, gorgeously told story of Semiramis—an orphan, a daughter of prophecy, and the future Queen of Assyria.
From bloodstained streets to the throne of a brutal empire, she claws her way through love, betrayal, battlefields, and gods who underestimated her.
If you like your historical fiction feminist, fatal, and emotionally feral—this is it.
💔 Queer longing? Check.
🗡️ Political power plays? Absolutely.
👑 Girls who bite back? All day.
📖 Condition: Gently used hardcover, first edition. Some shelf wear, but like Semiramis herself—still sharp, still standing, still iconic.
