Lucinda is the demon dead. Formerly a Monere, descendents
of a people rather like vampires, but who gain strength
from the moon, she now feeds off them. She has for
centuries. She's also Princess Lucinda, daughter of the
High Lord of Hell. For hundreds of years, her existence has
been sort of boring. Then she encounters Stefan, a rogue
Monere warrior whom she's drawn to, unlike any other she's
ever known. While on a job -- she sometimes returns rogue
Monere warriors to the queen they've forsaken -- she decides
to lay claim to the warrior she's returning. To keep these
warriors and begin a life of meaning, she and her warriors
must undergo trials that threaten their very existence.
I have another hero. Her name is Lucinda. She kicks ass,
takes names and causes general mayhem when warranted. Yet
she yearns. This is a spin-off from Sunny's Children
of the Moon series. And it is great. Smart dialogue, a
heroine you'll want to cheer for and adopt at the same time
and cameos by favorite characters from the pervious series,
LUCINDA, DARKLY has it all. Yet not enough. I, for one, am
ready for more -- and more will be forthcoming because this
is the first novel in The Demon Princess Chronicles. Write
on, Sunny, write on! Don't miss any of this author's
books, especially this one. A very, very good read.
For centuries, Lucinda has endured her agonizing reality.
As daughter of the High Lord of Hell,she rules over
nothing, retrieving the occasional wayward demon and
feeding off of the savage Monére-of whom she was a member
before she died.
Then she encounters the Monére warrior Stefan, who offers
himself to her. She is moved beyond measure by her desire
for him-and soon finds herself drawn back into the heady
eroticism of the Monére. There, she must carve out a home
between the jealousy of the dead and the violence of the
living, if she is to keep her newfound love-and life…
