About the Book

Empire of Hate, book three in Rina Kent's bestselling Empire series, is a second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance from the New York Times bestselling and BookTok sensation author. My boss. My enemy. I escaped my life. Leaving everything behind wasn't easy, but I did it — I turned the page and flew over the ocean. This is my new beginning, my new chapter, my new book. Or so I hoped, before I met my new boss: Daniel Sterling, rich as sin, illegally attractive, and the face of every magazine cover — and the very reason I escaped in the first place, since I made his high school life hell, and he won't stop until he gives me a taste of my own medicine.

The story opens with a young Nicole, still grieving the loss of her father — a Lord who died saving her and left behind a mountain of debt — before her mother remarries another Lord, Henry, whom Nicole calls "Uncle Henry." Years later, Nicole finds herself face to face with Daniel once again, the same man who, in her words, "ruined my life as much as I ruined his." Daniel recognizes her the moment she applies for the job and has a plan: he wants revenge for the past and intends to make her quit before her trial period ends, remembering her as the queen bee of their elite high school and wanting her to fall even further from grace. Their shared history becomes a minefield of misunderstandings, resentment, and unspoken truths, as the two are trapped together once again.

Empire of Hate is a complete standalone, and no other book in the series needs to be read prior to it. Part of Kent's broader Empire series, where power, obsession, and dark desires collide, the book showcases her signature blend of angst, tension, and slow-burning romantic intensity.
