TEASER VIDEO

I died.

It was supposed to be the end of my story. But after Aon buried me in the Pool of the Ancients, I learned that Under wasn’t done with me yet.

Even though I escaped death the first time, there’s a prophecy predicting my demise, and it’s driving Aon mad. His desperation to protect me is dangerous, deadly, and I’m afraid of what he might do.

The void that threatens to destroy this world is receding, yet Under is still not safe. I can feel it in my blood, the warning that something terrible is coming. Something bigger and stronger than all of us.

But I am no longer the human girl merely fighting for survival. I’m different now, changed into something this world hasn’t seen in fifteen hundred years.

I am immortal, a queen of Under.

I am the Queen of Dreams.

"Welcome to Under, Cupcake. Where everything is creepy and the murder party's the best party because the murder party never stops. " - Q

Lydia awakens from her death to find she is no longer the lowly mortal plaything of Under. Now she is its immortal pawn in a game she has no understanding of.

Betrayed, lost and feeling at the end of her rope Lydia finds that door number one may not have been the best choice after all.

I know I said this previously but it bears repeating Lyd's is one kick arse heroine. When it gets to be too much she takes a step back and with the use of humor and sarcasm and the rarely used ability common sense (my favorite) she tackles the things that can be changed and well deals with that which can not.

After Aon lost Lydia he honed his pain and emptiness into a fine blade of anger he intended to wield in retribution.

But when Lydia awakens as the new queen he immediately fears for her safety. Having heard the oracle's prediction he believes what he is doing is the right thing for Lyd. He accepts that his actions may cost him the one thing he ever truly desired.

"All the wrong things for all the right reasons. "

I truly love his character even with his sadistic tendencies.

I had to step back a couple of times to dry my eyes. You would think to be a queen would have given her some semblance of power but her life is even more of a living nightmare than when she was merely a mortal for the residents of Under to toy with.

Can she see past the pain and betrayal that seems to cast darkness on her every breath?

And Edu ... I want to shred him limb from limb!

Nothing turns out as I hoped

Okay that isn't quite true - Q - I totally want my own Q

Kingsley once again takes the reader on a journey into one of the most vivid and colorful worlds that I have had the pleasure of visiting. A uniquely creative cast that endears and enrages.

If dark fantasy is your genre this is one series not to be missed!
