Abandon series: (1) Abandon, (2) Underworld
Pierce Oliviera is stuck in the Underworld and there’s no going back. At least she won’t be bored, with her boyfriend John Hayden for company. He might be King of the Underworld (and thus she’s his Queen Consort) but someone’s got to do it, right? Besides, Pierce has got bigger things to worry about, like the Furies that are after her and want to see her dead …
Pierce’s transition into her new
life hasn’t been as smooth as she’d hoped. Her departure from Earth was
captured by CCTV and to the world (along with some help from Pierce’s
over-exaggerating, Fury-possessed Grandmother), it looks as if she were
kidnapped. With a £1million reward on her head (really, was that all her dad
could afford?) and so many loose ends to tie up back on Earth, Pierce must be
very careful during her return visit not to draw too much attention to herself.
And whatever she does, it must be fast. Terrible consequences are suffered in
the Underworld when the balance is upset and its residents must not spend too
long in the land of the living.
