Queen'S Man: Beyond the Corridor
The Threat and Escape
The constant threat of assassination stalks Queen Rejeena of Kriiscon. Her cousin, Ishtabarra, strives to slay her to claim the queenship, sending killers to slice the queen's throat in her tent. Rejeena escapes death by a hairsbreadth, saved by Aarvan, her queen's man and slave.
The Bounty and Hostile Forces
Ishtabarra, angered and frustrated by his interference, places a price on Aarvan's head. Anyone can collect the bounty. Avarice and hostile forces abound—back way groups, loose men, wandering women. Assuredly, some will seek the reward and notoriety—perhaps the queen's own guards?
Personal Journeys and Challenges
Rejeena and Aarvan will each traverse personal corridors. The queen must transcend generations of ingrained bigotry—such as men being working slaves, good only for procreation. She struggles to surmount the physical agony and mental misery of slave status.
The Next Challenge
Aarvan declares that Ishtabarra will attack again through the deadly LaSheenas Corridor, the next challenge on their trek to the Queens Council. Rejeena and her guard captain believe the feat impossible. As they enter the corridor with scant guard protection, will the outlaws try again? Can the queen emerge alive?
Survival and Unity
To survive and remain together, Rejeena and Aarvan must not only battle outside forces determined to destroy them but demolish the barriers that separate them.
