Chapter 1 : The Next Emperor by Michelle-Bound on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
A political sci-fi story mostly about females from maids to empresses living in a male dominated Empire of planets inhabited by the human race in the distant future after everybody had to leave Earth. It begins on what would be New Year's Day on Earth thousands of years in the future, and spans many years as shown in the chapter links.
