(Totally not an) EVIL OVERLADY (The Calamitous Bob, #8)

Viv is Empress! Well, Empress of a couple cities and fortified villages, but Empress nonetheless. What started as a last-ditch effort to resist Prince Lancer’s land grab has turned into a fragile nation. Now, it is her job to protect it by forging alliances, fending off evil gods and perhaps even reclaim lost villages scattered along the deadlands. Thankfully, our dauntless heroine has command over totally not suspicious black steel legions, arcane tanks under the leadership of an owl-creature nicknamed ‘Ser Warcrime’, an entire race of genetically engineered assassins, and a paramour nicknamed ‘the Red Mist’. She is also a black mana witch of immense power. But that doesn’t mean she’s evil! She just looks the part. Honest！
