The queen of Chicago's criminal underworld, Hadria "Hades" Imperioli, is no stranger to power and danger.
When she set Aurora Verderosa free, Hadria thought she was doing the right thing—for once in her life. But now the only light in her dark world has been ripped from her, and Hadria faces a vulnerability she never knew. As Hadria frantically searches the city's underbelly to save her lover, the Syndicate she leads becomes fractured, with some questioning her right to lead. Hadria is forced to confront the idea that saving Aurora might mean giving up her criminal kingdom. But the crime queen is determined to reclaim her love—whatever it takes. Can Hadria save Aurora and claim her forever? Or will the darkness she revels in overtake her at last and destroy any chance at love? Consort of the Crime Queen is the thrilling conclusion to the Underworld Duet, a steamy contemporary Sapphic mafia romance based (very) loosely on the myth of Hades and Persephone. For mature listeners.
