Description
No queen will ever be cherished as much as Aislynn, such a pretty little figure held above the grotesque kingdom of Hell. Even though she bore a bastard child after giving Lord Haden an heir, Aislynn is still revered like an angel...
The clawed fingers curled, and the strings rooting deeply in her flesh pulled her higher until she dangled over the merciless crowns of her taker. "Who wants to be a petty queen when you can reign like a goddess?"
Yes, a delicious plot conceived by one of the Deadly Seven, The Pride of Hell, who also(quite laughingly) goes by the name of Hope. She wishes to put one of her own sons on Hell's throne, planning to place herself on that golden pedestal once the crown is attained.
The Devil, the Fool, the Damned, and lastly...the Whore. They're only a few of the many pawns to further her ascent to greatness, plunging everyone else in the dark and Hope won't stop until even her enemies are kneeling at her feet. She just needs to play her cards right, because this is the game of eternity.
The dove's wings will break and the crow will echo its last cry, because her time has come, and not a single damned soul will dare rise up to defy her.
