'So when I sleep with her it's a diplomatic nightmare, but you wouldn't object to her having a legal arrangement with Robert?'
Behmor sighed,
'Father, his name is Theaten, and, unlike you, he is predictable and easily managed.'
Nicolas shook his head,
'His name is Robert.'
Behmor looked at Allyra through Tanis's specula.
"She seems taken with Theaten. An Electi priestess and heir to the Darkbadb. It would be quite a union, and bring a bit of glamour to the Immortalis, and justify a tax increase."
Nicolas raised an eyebrow.
"Can you not think of a more suitable prince?"
Behmor looked Nicolas up and down, from the flies that had taken residence in his greasy hair to the mould growing on his boots.
"No."
"What about an intellectual genius who owns a great estate and WAS THERE FIRST?!"
"You mean the git who lives in a loony bin?"
"WHAT?" Nicolas bellowed. "I'm hard of hearing."
"We all know what you are, Father."

Allyra stroked Nicolas's cheek.
"You know, now you've slept with me, we have to get married."
Nicolas nodded once.
"Nicolas accepts."
She laughed.
"Nic, it was a joke."
His head gave a sharp twitch.
"You made an offer. I accepted. That constitutes a legally binding contract."
Unlike the other Pure Immolesses, Allyra spends five years studying Nicolas. She chooses him because his brother Theaten has the brains of a turnip. Certain she understands her quarry, she tortures, shags, and executes his allies for information, but fails to realise her boyfriend, Chester, is part of Nicolas, a Nicolai.
Nicolas has known about her investigation from the start. Every ally feeds her the lies he wants her to hear. Even so, Allyra sacrifices her unpleasant cult family to Irkalla and buys herself time. She is not particularly enamoured with the prospect of being eaten by Nicolas.
Nicolas rewrites the contract, making himself her protector.
The comedy-horror soon gives way to relentless gaslighting and something far more sinister. By the time Allyra discovers what Nicolas really wants, there is nothing left to save.
Beyond dark romance. An extreme, messy climax you will never forget.

Allyra calls it survival. Nicolas calls it a declaration of love.
Five years studying him? Courtship. Vomiting on him after travelling by raven? Overwhelmed by his magnificence. Sleeping with him? A proposal. Being the charitable soul that he is, Nicolas accepts her offer.
60 days to go...
60 days to:
• Get the Immortalis and Dyerbolical digital verses to perfection.
• Optimise our social media accounts.
• Connect the architecture.
• Finish the final draft of Book One.
• Publish the first book.
• Optimise third party platform visibility.
• Develop a sustainable content calendar.
• Complete my PhD final draft: Horror Movies and Fandom.
• Develop new media.
Two years ago, after four years of collaborative storytelling, Brett and I presented our vision to Enterprise Ireland and New Frontiers. They believed in what we were building and backed us.
Eighteen months ago, website development and our social media operations began.
Eight months ago, we made the decision to bring every one of our characters together into a single universe.
Six months ago, the first draft was written. Four months later came the second.
Four months ago, the architecture finally began after fifteen months of planning and preparation.
Two months ago, we revisited every account and mapped out the final strategy.
One month ago, the final draft of Immortalis began, alongside the final sanity checks and complete overhaul of our websites and social media.
Now there are just 60 days left.
Can we do it?
Who knows.
But we're going to give it everything we've got.
Whatever it takes.
The idea started simple; A lunatic who ran an asylum, a masked monster, a spider-octopus, a cock-happy fanfic bint, and an obnoxious talking head on a gramophone!
"Your palace, Allyra. Made especially for you."
Allyra looked at the models of herself, the koi pond, the arched windows, the bookcase filled with everything she loved.
"There's something very wrong here."
As she spoke, Chester and Nicodemus crawled in on all fours.
"Nicolas, I want to leave."
"I built you your dream," he sneered. "And we should like to bestow our own gifts upon you. Now. All of us."
"I don't want them."
"No one asked what you wanted."
