[[File:EmpressOfMijak_6998.jpg|frame|''Her name is Hekat - and she will be slave to no man.'' Art by Les Petersen.]]
The first novel is ''Empress of Mijak'' or ''Empress'', in which Hekat is sold as [[Happiness in Slavery|a slave]] by her parents, escapes to become the instrument of [[God Is Evil|God]], being a sort of [[The Chosen One|Chosen One]] who thinks anyone who disagrees with her is possessed by demons as she is [[Because Destiny Says So|following the God's plan]]. She [[Fille Fatale|seduces]] the warlord Raklion, bears a son by the benevolent priest Vortka and ends up Queen of the whole known world.
Line 9:
In ''Hammer of God'', [[Fight Scene|Rhian fights a sea battle]] for her crown with [[Mass Teleportation]] and a [[Final Battle]] with some [[Rule of Cool|great explosive sequences]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Hekat and later Rhian, and there are '''a lot''' of action girls as Mijak lets women be warriors.
* [[
* [[Alien Sky]]: Two moons.
* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: It's never quite clear whether one of Hekat's viler acts is truly motivated by her god speaking to her from within, or just her own ambition. For example, her using a divine curse to spiritually "neuter" Vortka, rendering him incapable of fathering future children that could challenge Zandakar's ability to wield the [[Power Crystal]] (and, coincidentally, negating his own ability to do the same) could have just been her own zeal to see her dynastic plans not thwarted... or genuinely prompted by the god in order to ensure her next child would be by Nagarak, ensuring he would be much more like a typical Mijaki.
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* [[Planet of Hats]]
* [[Plot Hole]]: Mijak's Hekat chooses her name due to mispronouncing "hellcat," which she was called as a child. Ethrean sounds like English no matter what point of view it's heard from, while Mijaki is represented as a completely different language when heard by Ethrean characters. The plot hole here is how the term "hellcat" sounds exactly the same in two uniquely-developed languages.
* [[Power Crystal]]
* [[Power Glows]]: When filled with power, Dexterity glows with fire that does not burn. {{spoiler|[[Kill It with Fire|Except for Marlan.]]}}
* [[The Power of Blood]]: Mijak's religious ritual involves so much sacrificial blood (including swallowing it hot and [[Blood Bath|taking baths in it]]) it's just [[Sick and Wrong]].
