Ethan gets a crash course in the feminine arts.
 

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.

“Does it have any writing on the label?” I ask.

“Just letters and numbers, ‘TC fourteen dash one,’ whatever THAT means,” my girlfriend replies.

“ ‘TC’ will be for ‘Team Chwilen,’ ” I explain. “Stick that in the envelope too, heh.”

Josie was not the ordinary twenty-something office worker despite appearing to be one.
For work, she wore boring black leggings, a black top and a hoodie.

I was told I looked pretty good.

I just want to get this out of the way first, before anything else. I am a dude - 100% male. I just like dressing up in girl's clothes

Author's Note: Hi, thanks for reading my story. Now that Christmas is over I can return to these darker chapters. This is a flashback, 11 years ago. Hopefully illustrating how much Whit and Lucy have been through. On a personal note I had a wonderful Christmas. My wife bought me a jewelry box with a little spinning ballerina, something I've always wanted. I had my second HRT appointment and found despite my conservative plan I'm getting very close to female levels. Still, fully coming out seems impossible.
