Will I ever truly be queen?
I’ve settled into my life on the island of Neverland with no intention of ever returning to the home I left behind. I have Peter Pan and the Lost Boys by my side. What more could I want?
But when we receive word that my mother has gone missing, I’m left with no choice. I must return to save Merry Darling.
As soon as we set foot in the mortal realm, we’re ambushed. Worse, all our powers evaporate. Vane and I can’t access the Neverland Shadow. The twins can’t use their fae magic. And Peter Pan is not only unable to fly, he also can’t light anyone on fire.
Pan knows right away who we’re dealing with – Witch Killers.
Without our magic, things turn grim. And just when it looks like we’ll be defeated, a Witch Killer takes our side. The most infamous Witch Killer of all– Hansel.
He reveals a secret that will change my life forever, and it’s this secret that has the Witch Killers determined to hunt me down, until all the Darling women are dead.
But they’re going to have to get through four protective men first…before facing my wrath. Because I’m not going down without a fight.
NOTE: The Never Queen is a dark reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged-up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies-to-lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you’ll enjoy this series. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and ‘touch her and I’ll unalive you’ vibes. The Never Queen is the final book in the main storyline for the Vicious Lost Boys series.
