Synopsis
Author Note: This story is currently having some plot bunnies chased and its magic system tweaked. I will be uploading the rest of it in its entirety when I've ironed out some drafting kinks. Thank you to those who've provided feedback this far. We'll be back in March!
If you've enjoyed this story enough, I'm looking for some beta readers for feedback on my planned adjustments. Feel free to reach out if this interests you!
Lydia Grace is a workaholic. Her life is already difficult enough as it is: she's taking classes at a two-bit community college for lack of alternatives, and she's trapped in MiddleofNowhere Iowa. On the bright side, it's her senior year, and she can smell the ink on her degree. It's all uphill from here.
That is, until she winds up getting kidnapped.
Thrust into a bizarre underworld full of spirits, ghouls, and magic, Lydia is fast-tracked into a new curriculum: demonology. After botching a ritual sacrifice and winding up bound to an incubus, she must navigate her way through perilous encounters, secret organizations, and deadly opposition. Through it all, she'll have her reluctant demonic partner: someone with plenty of secrets of his own.
Witty, magical, and just a touch spicy, Daggers, Dames and Demons is a fast-paced Urban Fantasy with a tasty dash of Romance. It draws heavily from mythology all around the world, mixing and blending them into a kaleidoscope of allies and monsters. I hope you enjoy!
