Dark Halos

I'm Alice, and for years, I've had dreams about talking to the Devil. They're not nightmares. In fact, they're far from it. Our conversations are innocent, but certainly not normal. Though, if I'm honest, I'm not even sure what about my life is . . . I always thought that someday my namesake would prove true, and I'd get a fairy tale of my own. After all, I live in a world where magic exists, so why not hope? However, instead of a rabbit, what came to whisk me away was a vicious beast with green eyes. And instead of taking me to Wonderland, it dragged me kicking and screaming to Hell. I wish I could say that's the worst of it. As it turns out, I'm supposedly betrothed to the prince of darkness himself and he's the very definition of tall, dark, and handsome. Don't even get me started on the cocky aurora that surrounds him. It grates me in all the right-excuse me, all the wrong places, and his wicked grin should come with a warning label. So, all aboard the hot mess express, ladies and gents. It's going to be a wild ride. Contains mature themes.

A year ago, we managed to escape the realm of monsters, unscathed. The mistake of trying to strike a bargain with the High King has been buried in the past . . . Or so we thought. Tensions rise when the people in our kingdom seek blood, claiming a beast massacred one of the villages around Hell Hold. Pitchforks burn and the fine line between good and evil blurs until it's nearly obliterated all together. However, one thing is crystal clear. We're not only gearing up for war with Heaven, but a civil war within Hell itself. Contains mature themes.

"If I'm the Queen of Hearts, then be my King of Spades." The High King-now freed from his prison-continues to wreak havoc on the seven realms, but he made one wrong move. He kidnapped my best friend, and I'll stop at nothing to get him back. Even if it means holding the self-appointed king's cold dead heart in my bare hands. I've set out into the realm of monsters, and all is going according to plan until it's not, and I find myself allied with the last person in Hell I'd ever fight beside. Will we save Finn? Will we put an end to the High King's wrath? Will we stop Michael? Or has this all been for naught? Regardless, we have very little time before Heaven descends with the intention of wiping us from existence. Step aside, world. Alice Whittaker, future Queen of Hell and Slayer of Kings is coming through. Contains mature themes.
