Azucena Katia was born to be the empress of Sipan. With a sharp tongue, impeccable style, and a touch of magic from the gods, she makes decisions for the entire empire-even if it means the lower class sometimes goes hungry.
Unknowingly, she begins to amass enemies. Mostly the poor, who pay an unfair portion of their crops in tithe, but also in a ruthless advisor, whom Azucena plans to release from her employ on the celebration of her 30th birthday.
Azucena is under the impression that she is the most loved empress in the history of Sipan. So when she wakes up trapped in a home in the hills with a peasant man who doesn't believe she's the one running the empire, she knows there must have been a terrible mistake.
Will she be able to convince him to return her to the palace before it's too late? Or will he hold her prior rulings against her...after all, it's her fault he doesn't have enough provisions to survive the winter...
Written for fans of The Emperor's New Groove, Qoya is the story of a spoiled empress and the man who might be able to change her stubborn ways.
