Hellfire and Kittens

Queen Lucy Book 1

by Rhiannon Lee

Genre: Reverse Harem Fantasy Romance Adventure 



Hell is just a place on earth, right? For Lucy, this couldn't be any closer to the truth. Stuck working in another dead-end job in another unremarkable city, Lucy’s adapted to life on the run by arming herself with a smokescreen of snarky humor. Sometimes though, her filter-less sasses land her in hot water, especially when it comes to triggering her unruly magic.

After a trip to the pound, where a small, scrappy black cat befriends her, a rapid series of events thrusts Lucy—literally—into the complicated world of Hell.

Lucy will need to learn to rely on others and use the help offered to her by an alluring demon and a ragtag team of misfits in order to save Hell before it’s ripped apart by all manners of depraved, ruthless enemies.

The Queen Lucy series is a fantasy romance adventure with a reverse harem theme.

Like greeting an old friend, if that friend is a slap across the face from reality, Lucy launches herself headfirst into a new series of challenges that come with the territory of being the Queen of Hell.

On top of being pulled every which way by royal duties and rules, and a conflict simmering just below the surface of Hell’s five realms, Lucy must also juggle a newfound romantic life she couldn’t have previously imagined. As her love for Cain grows, the arrival of a mysterious stranger throws a wrench in her initial plans. And of course, he’s not the only one who has their eyes set on the vivacious queen.

The uncertainty of Lucy’s future increases as a lurking threat begins to rear its head. Can Lucy figure out the key to keeping her world intact while also opening her heart to the love of all the men in her life before it’s too late?

But letting her guard down was her first mistake.

In a race against her own future, Lucy must trust her instincts now more than ever. And if she wants to stand a chance at restoring Hell and her reign, she also needs to tread carefully around familiar faces. If there is one thing she knows all too well, it’s that not everyone is as they seem.

Excerpt from Horoscopes and Oaths

Rhiannon Lee

Queen Lucy: Book four

 

I wrapped an arm around him and pulled his head into my lap. “Gathering forces must be tough work, huh?” I asked. 

He mumbled something I couldn’t make out and nodded his head. The poor thing. I stroked his hair and kissed the side of his head, earning me a hair in my mouth for my kindness. He seemed so peaceful; I was trying desperately not to draw attention to myself while I attempted to extract the stupid thing. I worked it around with my tongue until it was resting on my lower lip and then tried to push it out of my mouth with a puff of breath. 

Gilly looked over at me and cocked an eyebrow. I shook my head and frowned, then shh’ed her as quietly as possible. The hair was still lodged. Apparently, I had only managed to work part of it forward, the other half was wedged between my skin and molars. 

She went back to eating, and I went back to trying to get the dumb hair out of my mouth. Every few seconds, she would glance up with a smirk. I rolled my eyes. 

Cain was making soft breathy noises. Obviously, he had fallen asleep. Then he rolled over and stretched. His face was now pointed up at me, but his eyes were sealed shut. I now had no hope of dislodging myself from under him without waking him. Great.

If anyone ever wrote a book about me, I hoped they would leave the part about the glorious and brave queen of hell getting trapped under her lover with a hair stuck between her teeth. Knowing my luck, they’d write about it in great detail. I let out a huff, fluffing my bangs upward, and felt the hair slide further back against my throat. 

I gagged but tried to repress it as much as I could. My eyes watered through my struggle. Finally, at my wit’s end, I gingerly moved one hand from under Cain and fished for the culprit threatening to wake my sweet dear companion. 

Gilly was nearly in hysterics, at least as much as possible while trying to be quiet. I side eyed her while I desperately tried to grab the hair from the back of my mouth. 

I finally felt it and pinched it between two fingers. Victory! As I was retrieving it, it slipped, and I lost it, but at least I knew where it was now. I found it again and pulled. Just as I pulled it all the way out, the damn door opened a third time. 

Bohden barged in. “We are ready!” he announced, pulling Cain from his slumber with a start. 

The sleeping man sat straight up, catching my chin. My jaw cracked against his head and pain shot through my face. “Motherfuc…” I hissed. I tasted iron.

Then the vulture does something else completely unexpected. It rubs its head against my hand. Despite my consternation, I do the only thing natural when an animal shows affection this way. It did just save me. I pet it, not like a dog tousling the fur, but like a cat, stroking down so that I don’t ruffle its feathers. The black eyes study me and I swear its beak opens slightly as if showing happiness. I’ve always wanted a pet, but Mom believes they’re full of germs. I wonder if this is what it would’ve been like.

A snap sounds about twenty feet away. I look up to see that Rigled has released the chain whip from his belt. Luckily, the Vortex government has banned guns. I surprise myself by moving to stand between Rigled and the vulture. My brain seems void of all common sense, as if adrenaline has taken over my thoughts. Before Rigled can make another move, I hear the strong flapping and fluttering of the vulture flying off.

“Why did you interfere? I had the beast within my reach,” Rigled yells at me.

“She just saved me. She wasn’t going to cause any harm,” I answer.

As I spot the vulture flying off, its head turns around and issues a nasty hiss in Rigled’s direction. When I turn back, I see two guards in front of me instead of one.

Excerpt from Valley of Bones

“You have a kind heart, Princess.” He stared out the doorway. A shadow fell across his features. “But it will not save you from what’s coming.”

“What’s coming?” Anna whispered. He faced her. Pure horror reflected in his eyes.

“My men and I were on the North Sea. Our ship was destroyed by beasts off the north coast of Oclen.”

“Beasts?” Anna’s heart skipped.

“It’s the stuff of nightmares.” His voice was low, his tone measured. “They boarded my ship from another boat and went on a killing rampage. We had to abandon ship. A fraction of my men made it to shore in a few small boats. My beautiful ship sank in those bloody waves.”

Anna shuddered. More beasts.

He was silent a long time. He pursed his lips and studied her. “Sit down. I don’t want you fainting.”

Anna lowered herself to the fur rug. Her eyes didn’t leave his face as a slow roil churned in her gut.

“Hopefully some of the beasts went down with the ship, but many followed us to shore. They swam a mile in the cold North Sea in the dark.”

“How is that possible?”

“These things are not human.”

Anna blinked. The man from Oclen had warned them. Her head spun.

“Many of my men died. There was nothing I could do. Our swords bounced off their hides. Our arrows did not pierce their skin.” He grabbed the wine bottle and slumped down next to her.
