THE QUEEN opens up in the present with Soren and Nora at
a wedding. The story then flashes back to the time in
Nora's life when she thought about not returning to
Soren. It is in this time that we learn about her return
to New York from her year long exile in the convent, when
Nora was known as Eleanor Schreiber. She was broke, had
no job, and would have been homeless if Kingsley hadn't
allowed her to stay at his home. But Kingsley saw
something in Eleanor very few saw...a dominatrix and
offers Eleanor something she just can't refuse.
With the help of Kingsley, Eleanor transforms herself
into Mistress Nora, the Red Queen.
Within two years Mistress Nora has wiped away her rival,
has her own money, her own house, and has been published
as an erotica writer. However Nora is tempted time and
time again by Soren. The only man who refuses to bend
to her will. It isn't until Soren volunteers for a
church assignment, which will take him into a dangerous
country, that Nora and Kingsley both risk losing him
forever. Will Nora give up everything she has worked so
hard to build or will she let him walk away from her.
More importantly, can Nora and Kingsley live without
their priest?
THE QUEEN is the final installment in the Original
Sinners series. This series is broken up into two
parts.
The White Years Quartet (books 5-8) and the Red Years
Quartet (books 1-4). It
is recommended that you read the Red Years first. The
Original Sinners series is the love story involving
a bunch of
unlikely characters who test the boundaries in each
other. All the characters are interconnected in a way
that makes them an unconventional type of family. Each
path taken in each of their lives has ultimately lead
them to this point or back to who and
where they belong.
Tiffany Reisz's writing is one of
the best. She constructs more than a simple cast of
characters. Each character is multi-layered and complex.
Ms Reisz has given us an entire community of people who
come from all backgrounds, good histories and bad
histories. She allows the reader to fall completely in
love with each and every one. There is nothing published
that compares to the
world Tiffany Reisz has
built with this series. She is one of my go to authors
I just can't seem to get enough of.
Once upon a time, Nora and Søren made a fateful deal—if he
gave her everything, she would give him forever.
The time has finally come to keep their promises.
Out of money and out of options after her yearlong exile,
Eleanor Schreiber agrees to join forces with Kingsley Edge,
the king of kink. After her first taste of power as a
Dominant, Eleanor buries her old submissive self and
transforms into Mistress Nora, the Red Queen. With the help
of a mysterious young man with a job even more illicit than
her own, Nora squares off against a cunning rival in her
quest to become the most respected, the most feared
Dominatrix in the Underground.
While new lovers and the sweet taste of freedom intoxicate
Nora, she is tempted time and time again by Søren, her only
love and the one man who refuses to bow to her. But when
Søren accepts a new church assignment in a dangerous
country, she must make an agonizing choice—will the queen
keep her throne and let her lover go, or trade in her crown
for Søren's collar?
With a shattering final confession, the last link in the
chain is forged in The Original Sinners saga. It's the
closing chapter in a story of salvation, sacrifice and the
multitude of scars we collect in the name of ecstasy—and
love.
