Waking the Queen

2012

Detective Brynn Hill is on the hunt for an angel of mercy killer who’s been targeting war veterans. Once Brynn has a killer in her sites, there’s no escape. She’s a hunter of hunters: judge, jury and executioner for those who slip through the cracks in the system. But her angel of mercy killer isn’t what she seems. She’s a Valkyrie sent to bring fallen warriors home and trigger Brynn’s journey to ascension. Brynn is more than just a cop, more than just the screwed up daughter of an infamous serial killer. She is the Darkyrie Helreggin. The Queen of Hel born again to cage the evil that no other power can. It’s her destiny to lead the armies of the damned and fulfill a birthright that will change the nine worlds forever. If a mysterious, scarred assassin doesn’t kill her first. Publisher’s Note: Ride of the Darkyrie is a serial, which means it will be released in 30,000 word episodes every month after the initial 15K “pilot.” As a whole, all episodes together, this book will be 105K. The average novel is 80K-90K

Surrender her body to Helreggin and save them knowing it's the first taste of her death—or unleash the monster and save herself.

Saranna De Wylde has always been fascinated by things better left in the dark. She wrote her first story after watching The Exorcist at a slumber party. Since then, she’s published horror, romance and narrative nonfiction. Like all writers, Saranna has held a variety of jobs, from operations supervisor for an airline, to an assistant for a call girl, to a corrections officer. But like Hemingway said, “Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure, only death can stop it.” So she traded in her cuffs for a full-time keyboard. She loves to hear from her readers. Saranna writes nonfiction under the name Sara Lunsford. Her memoir about her time as a corrections officer called Sweet Hell on Fire releases Nov 1 from Sourcebooks.
