Princess Kaeleen of the Nine Worlds has been disinherited. And the daughter of light and dark, now just "Lacey," has been content in the world of heavy metal music, clubbing, fashion, one-night-stands, takeaway, and hangovers ever since.
That is until her carefree, party-girl lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when her powerful best friend tears off on a heartbreak-fueled path of self-destruction and mayhem. Add a dangerously strained relationship with Lacey's demon Queen mother, an ambitious half-sister jostling for power, and a demon assassin ripping her friends apart, and Lacey is well out of her depth.
On the precipice of losing everything she values, fatherless and powerless Lacey must find the strength to unite violently opposed factions and personalities to protect the lives she holds dear.

Love them or hate them, without a good villain, a story is missing a vital piece of its puzzle. These authors tackle the often misunderstood and misguided antagonist from their perspective. Though we'd be remiss if we didn't allow for evil for the sake of evil, because who doesn't love a 'good' Big Baddie. Come along as we explore the other side of the story and see just what makes these characters - Villains.
