Lucinda is finally returning to the living realm and her
own territory. After a two-year absence, she's sure her
house is shabby, at best. She is determined to make it a
cozy, welcoming home to her motley crew of uniquely
different men, who are either bonded with her or sworn to
protect a powerful demon princess such as herself. Her
responsibilities to them will be a challenge; the demons in
the group require blood to survive, while others can
consume the same food humans eat. And then there's the
matter of having enough beds for everyone to rest
comfortably. Lucinda begins her quest only to be abducted
by Derek, a sworn enemy who uses death magic to take her
straight to Purgatory.
Lucinda finds herself in a desolate location in Hell with
all of her demon traits, quickness and strength, weakened,
which can be detrimental to her kind. The demon who's
delivered Lucinda to this evil place has his reasons for
setting up the demon princess. Derek plans to force Lucinda
to change into a beautiful dragon, so he can ultimately
destroy her. She must dig deep within herself to find the
will to survive her dire new surroundings. This path she
must follow brings out her desire to continue to exist; her
decisions will affect those she has come to care about
deeply in ways she never thought possible.
This delicious installment to the Demon Princess Chronicles
serves up a unique parallel world that teases the senses
with hot desire leaping off every page. This series is a
must-read!
Soon after returning to the world of the living with her
two bondmates, demon princess Lucinda is kidnapped and
imprisoned by her enemy, Derek. He brings her back to a
hidden outland in Hell, a bleak and desolate landscape
riddled with disfigured rejects. At first enraged by
Lucinda's new abilities, Derek soon realizes that he may
have just stumbled upon a way to regain his power-and
Lucinda's new life is the sacrifice.
