Chapter 24 – After Action Debrief

For two thousand years, demons and humans waged war against each other. Twenty-five years ago, that all changed. Now two demon princesses must navigate a world that's been forever altered - and yet they'll soon find that far too much of it remains the same.

This is the story of Mikaela, and Charlotte, twin princesses (born to the protagonists of Demon Queened), forced to become adventurers as a rite of passage. In theory, it'll be easy! They're literally demi-gods after all. It's not like anything can hurt them... but will it really be so simple for two pampered princesses to live the life of adventurers?

From prejudiced humans to old demonic grudges, hidden villages, romance and potential heartbreak, the girls will soon find that there's a lot more to life than they realized.

This is a sequel to Demon Queened, but I'll do my best to make sure you don't need to read the original to make sense of it. I still recommend the original - it was a good series, in my opinion! - but reading it shouldn't be a necessity.

Big-city journalist Mark Holly arrives in Pine Hollow to research an article about small-town Christmas. But one borrowed Christmas sweater, one registration mix-up, and one widowed tree farmer later, he finds he's living a Hallmark movie come to life. Along the way, Mark learns that sometimes the story you end up writing isn't always the one you were looking for.

Chapter 5 — “Descent to the Core.”

Scene 1: The Shifting Halls

The new passage radiated radiant hues, akin to molten glass being elegantly poured through the rugged contours of ancient stone. Waves of warmth undulated through the air, stirring up fine particles of dust and tousling Steph's hair in a gentle dance. With cautious curiosity, she leaned forward to peer into the spiraling shaft, which seemed to descend into an endless abyss, each level shimmering faintly like distant stars before being consumed by encroaching shadows.

Chapter 23 – The Summit War

The flag's light pulsed once—a brilliant flash that surged through the darkness, momentarily dispelling the swirling smoke that clung to the air like a thick veil. Gradually, it steadied into a slow, rhythmic glow, a heartbeat of illumination in the oppressive gloom. Kara gripped the pole tightly, her breath coming in quick, ragged gasps behind the visor, her heart racing in anticipation.

For a few tense heartbeats, the world around her held its breath, suspended in an eerie stillness.

One day when the ocean and sun were rhyming...

She snorted loudly. “There’s no such thing. That whole men are from Mars, Women are from Venus is just a tired boomer stereotype to sell books. Ask away,” she said.

Chapter 22 – Into the Fortress

The fortress gates shuddered violently as Stacy initiated her final bypass sequence. Bright sparks erupted from the seams, illuminating the darkness as the massive locks groaned and disengaged with a thunderous metallic rumble that echoed through the air. It felt as though the entire mountain was vibrating in response to the impending chaos. Just then, a powerful explosion rolled across the ridge, shaking the ground beneath her feet and filling the atmosphere with an ominous tension.

Chapter 2: Eden Tech

Behind the tranquil façade of Eden Technologies, where serene glass walls reflect gentle lighting and muted waiting rooms invite relaxation, lies the true heart of the operation—a stark contrast to the soothing scent of jasmine and the melodious murmur of therapeutic waterfalls.

Chapter 4 — The Road to Glimmerstream

Scene 1: The Morning After

Sunlight pierced through the curtains like a relentless wave of heat, casting a golden glow that filled the room with an almost magical intensity. Steph groaned softly, rolling over in her plush nest of blankets at the Silverleaf Guild Inn. Her fluffy tail tumbled across her face, inadvertently muffling a melodramatic whimper. “Who on earth decided to crank up the brightness, meow?” she lamented, squinting against the harsh light that seemed to mock her lingering drowsiness.

Chapter 21 – The Iron Ridge

The mountain’s silence didn’t last long. First came a low, mechanical hum rolling across the slope, trembling the icy stones beneath their boots. Kara’s team re-formed at the edge of the ruined pillbox, boots crunching over spent shell casings and scorched metal fragments. The smell of burnt alloy hung in the thin air, sharp and bitter, mingling with the ozone tang from discharged plasma. Flickers of ruined circuitry pulsed in the visor light from each soldier’s HUD, painting the ground with ghostly blue reflections.

Dear Readers,

I start this story with a lie. I hope you take no offence.

This is not a prologue. These are two epilogues to a story you have yet to read. A tale of love, as I have for you. A tale of choice, as you will have at the end of each release. And a tale of surrender, as I will, to your decisions.

At the start or end of each release, you will find two choices.
