Chapter Five: Dawn of the Lotus

Morning light cascaded through the intricately carved lattice windows, casting a soft, golden glow that danced across the room and warmed the luxurious silk sheets entwined around her body like a gentle embrace. The air was rich with the mingling scents of sweet incense, the delicate allure of foxfire, and the lingering whisper of smoke from the extinguished candles, creating an atmosphere both serene and enchanting.

Chapter 13

The remainder of the year was full of meetings, get-togethers, talking to voters, and the odd party. The political ones were now far more important than before, and the board meetings were interesting, now she was a candidate. The school meeting was extra special. It wasn’t that they hadn’t had an old scholar as an MP before, it was just that one had never been under thirty with that prospect. The Head told her, with a smile, that she would be called on to attend more of the social events if she won.

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.

She’d just finished applying makeup to Jak. Both of them were dressed to go out on the town. While Jak’s clothes appeared to be a little dated, the addition of a brightly coloured shawl changed the look entirely.

Willow tried to laugh it off, but the article attracted a lot of attention, especially if you had read the previous articles. She started to get invitations to speak at various industry events, but the first one that she attended was close to her heart.

Chapter 13: Claiming Atlantis

Our journey to Atlantis unfolded with a surprising sense of tranquility. After the initial drama that marked our departure, the remainder of the voyage was enveloped in a serene calm. Hours blended seamlessly together, enriched by the sound of scholarly conversations, cherished family moments, and playful jabs about my eccentric breakfast choices that danced in the salty air.
