Most witches have a coven. Not me. For me, the protection a coven offers does not outweigh the risk of being discovered.

I heal the people they feed on and don't ask too many questions. After less than six months working this gig, a girl turns up dead, drained of blood. Of course, I am the first person the police pay a visit to.

I am the true Unseelie Queen. And it will kill me. I have a knack for getting myself into some bad situations. What can I say - I like to live dangerously.

To make matters worse, the false queen who plans to destroy both our kingdoms is still alive and regaining her strength. We must work together to return from the dead and stop her from killing thousands - including my sister.

That should make me Persephone, but I’m no goddess. So why does he want me? I'll do whatever it takes to foil his deadly plans and escape, including seducing the brooding dark god.

Well, I'm locked up in prison, and I've lost my magic. Not what I expected, to say the least. To make things worse, my husband locked me in here.

Lore releases me to help defeat the evil that is devouring our kingdom, but it's going to be a dangerous battle. My only chance is to get my magic back, but that's easier said than done.
