I didn’t fall into a place of wonder and madness. I was taken. This world is a perfect, enchanting wonderland. The people here are just as alluring. But we all have our secrets. Like the white rabbit who’s leading a rebellion right under the King’s nose. Or the sweet March Hare who’s actually an enemy spy. Or my one true ally in all of this, a killer who’s so feared they won’t even say his real name.

To stop the chaos, sacrifice is all that’s needed to make everything right again. The gods gave the realm of the living a Goddess of Love. She just has to give the world all of her love.

When you live in Hell, you're bound to get burned...I just never expected this kind of torment. And the one man who I thought I could trust in all of this is my worst abuser. Torben rejected me the moment we stepped foot into this ashen hellhole. He does their bidding by throwing me into deadly trials that are bound to break me. Sometimes he protects me from the brunt of it…and sometimes I think he wants me dead as much as they do. But I won't give them the satisfaction. Because I didn't come to Hell to die. I came to survive.

Everything I thought I knew was a lie. Roman isn't the rightful ruler of this realm. The Night Witch and her followers were never our allies. And the beast that lives inside of me is far deadlier than I ever could have imagined. We just have to hide my shifter for a little longer. We just have to make it through the cruel tests of the hell fae.

The Bliss, as they call it, isn't a perfect nirvana. It's conniving and twisted torment waiting for me to fall into the council’s claws at any moment. But I'm not sticking around to be their newest torment target. I've got my own kingdom of doom to deal with. And saving the lives of those deliciously wicked men of mine is more important than the inevitable deadly chaos in all the realms.

I'm surrounded by the very people I vowed revenge upon. Instead of lashing out with sharp blades and knives, I'm stuck buying my time. I need the Shadow Guard's help if I'm going to save my demon mates from the claws of my enemies. The Shadow Guard are just like myself. They're made entirely from secrets, lies, and deadly dark magic, and now it's all spreading around us like wildfire. Nothing about vengeance is ever easy though. The chaos that surrounds me, it's like coming home. And my kingdom of a home, it's all about to come crashing down.

Nothing perfect ever lasts. For the first time in my entire life, I've found a community that accepts me. The village of dragon shifters knows what it's like to be different. These men care about me. And I care about them. I might even love them. Among all that perfection, terror creeps in. It haunts this place during the night. Something dangerous, powerful, and deadly has found these innocent people. And it wants me.

I'm coming after Kreedence. I want him to know what it feels like to live in fear. Just as I did for so many years. Three dragon shifters and a hellhound should be more than enough help. And yet, I'm seeking out allies in all the wrong places: a prince with resources, a deadly king with power, and a mysterious queen who died decades ago. New secrets will come to light. They'll destroy everything I thought I knew about myself and the world around me. Our secrets will always haunt us. Or hunt us.

I've gotten myself into one last incident. One final mistake that may cost me everything, including my life. By using dark, manipulating magic the Solstice Queen wants to reign over the two Kingdoms and give power back to mages once and for all. I'll stand by her side. I'll smile and wave and say all the right things. All while turning the last remaining mages against her. Because when it all ends, the beloved Solstice Queen won't walk away from the war she started. Unless I die trying.

The beautiful coastal village is too small and it's impossible to hide when you're a target. They know I'm different. They knew when I was a young girl and they know now. They're just waiting for the proof. They're all waiting for me to screw up like I always do. What they don't know is, I'm not staying. I'll take my scowling shifters - hopefully before they literally rip into one of the many hateful villagers - and I'll find the Solstice Queen. I'll find that mysteriously dangerous mage again if it's the last thing I do.

They pushed too far. The demented Hatter and all of his minions can test me all they like, but they just crossed a line.
