Esmeralda & Escarlata Rising

Azul makes a desperate bid to survive the political fallout from a calamitous Three-Roses Gala, which left Esmeralda wheelchair-bound after a monstrous transformation. As she struggles to heal, able to walk only when she's high on death's-head faerie dust, Rojo enlists her dark alter ego Escarlata to wage all-out war against the Hawkmoth Syndicate. Amid the bloodshed, seduction and wild hijinks, her heart is torn apart by her love for Azul and the increasingly violent appetite for destruction Rojo inspires.

Meanwhile, the Desert Barons of Dominion are moving against the Domina Divina, as rumors of the dominatrix-nuns being afflicted by vampirism becomes undeniable. It also becomes increasingly clear that Commune has been taken over by rogue artificial intelligence.

And all the chaos engulfing the three nations is happening entirely in accordance with nefarious conspirators, whose diabolical designs become clear to Fiona and her stepsister Valeria, when they infiltrate the Mildustrial Complex laboratories. There, they uncover horrors and revelations about the otherworldly origins of the Blood running through the veins of the Domina Divina, the true nature of death's-head faerie dust and the alien dangers of Commune's crystals that power the world's technologies.

And that's all just for starters.

With spiraling chaos, non-stop action, hardcore sex, gunfire, explosions, murders, spycraft and tentacle-fueled madness spreading like wildfire, Esmeralda Escarlata Rising dials up the heat, with a major twist at the very end that will forever change the series.
