Dark Queen Rides

Essence of Empyrean #1

by William Stadler

Eva Solace and her family have fled from the raids all her life. Few know her name, where she lives, what she's done... and even more importantly, who she is.

For fifteen years, she has avoided the sword of The Dark Queen, barely escaping the raids that have decimated entire cities, leaving men without wives, wives without children, and children without homes.

However, things soon change when rumors of Eva's whereabouts are mysteriously discovered. Now, with The Dark Queen on her heels, Eva must either find a way to escape, or face the most dangerous decision she's ever made.
