Queen of the Damned: Part One

By Emily Shore

You've heard of dark romcoms? Now, try PITCH-BLACK.

BRIELLA
I ran through the woods with my abusive ex hunting me-until I found them.
Five masked men.
They dismembered him, dragged me into their abandoned mine, and shattered me.

The Initiation was meant to ruin me.
They never expected me to survive.

Now I'm trapped inside their off-the-grid compound, claimed by outlaws bound by blood and the kinship law of their leader, a literal psychopath. They call me their Queen.

But I will have revenge. I'll break these chains. And then, I'll run-before their darkness devours me.
I will never be theirs. And they will never be mine.

THE DAMNED
We are not heroes. We are monsters. We will never be redeemed.

The alpha-a calculating killer with a law written in blood.
The doctor-who stitches wounds and breaks bones in one breath.
The damaged ex-fighter-held together by rage, scars, and ink.
The sociopathic butcher-a rabid madhouse with no brakes.
The axeman-who laughs while splitting men in two.

She should have disappeared into the pit like the others.
Instead, she bleeds with us. Laughs with us. Burns with us. And bites back.

She was born for our darkness.

And if she runs, we will hunt her down and drag her back to hell.
If she chooses to rule, we will build her a throne of corpses.

Because there is no freedom without chains.

A multi-POV why-choose standalone duet for bookish girlies with poor life choices who love villains, hilarious revenge, groveling arcs, and having their therapist on speed dial.
