#AtoZChallenge – Q is for Queen

I saw this image on Facebook over a year ago, and I’m not sure where it originated… but it is a fantastic visual for where things stand in book 2 of the Red Slaves series.

Anne is holding on to the last vestiges of her human life with her obsession with reading, research, and scientific proof, while the fantastic explodes around her.

Not only does she miss out on some deeply emotional possibilities, but she almost rejects the position she’s fallen into: Queen of the Russian dragons. It’s enough to make a romantic person tear her hair out–and worry for Ivan.

I’m enough of a romantic that I couldn’t leave him hanging, either, but you’ll have to read Blood to Fire to find out what it takes to pry open Anne’s eyes enough to enjoy the bond her transformation has offered her.
