In a galaxy where the struggle for power crushes the weak, Aelinara Sylorin, exiled heir to the throne of Valkorin, embarks on a solitary and determined quest to restore her people's honor. Her once-prosperous world has been conquered by the Galactic Empire, leaving its culture in ruins and its future uncertain. Scarred by the loss of her parents-a courageous queen and a Jedi master-Aelinara has spent a decade exploring forgotten Sith temples, unraveling the secrets of the Force, and seeking ways to overthrow Emperor Palpatine. Under a false identity, she infiltrates the inner workings of the Empire and crosses paths with Thrawn, an imperial Admiral as brilliant as he is enigmatic. Intrigued by her intellect and deep knowledge of ancient cultures, Thrawn sees her as a valuable ally for his own strategic plans. In turn, Aelinara recognizes in him a rare opportunity to access critical Imperial resources for her mission. Between them forms a fragile alliance, fraught with distrust yet driven by common goals. When Aelinara reveals her true identity and intentions to Thrawn, their unlikely partnership evolves into a complex bond, teetering between distrust and respect, attraction and duty. Together, they tread the treacherous terrain of precarious alliances and potential betrayals, all while uncovering the true power of the Sith artifacts they seek. These relics, remnants of an ancient and dangerous power, may hold the key to weakening the Emperor-but wielding them comes with immense risk. Aelinara walks a razor's edge: between betrayal and trust, rebellion and submission, light and shadow. In this fight for survival, she must not only choose her allies but also determine what kind of sovereign she wishes to become for her people.

"Y-you," she stuttered, staring at the handsome man sitting on the sleek black throne, "you're..." He rolled his eyes, waving his hand impatiently and said, "Hades. Come on, say it with me. Ha-des." "Hades," Ariel breathed out, still not believing the sight before her. Every picture she had seen of the gods had not depicted Hades' beauty. The god sitting before her was not a crusty old man with a white beard; no, he was a Calvin Klein model. "Yes," Hades clasped his hands together and grimaced, "the God of Death and riches; that's me." Ariel nodded, still refusing to believe but knowing she had to and Hades' grimace turned even bitter, "And you, darling, will be staying with me for quite some time." ~*~ Cover: _nymphomaniac Published: 8/6/14

The man sat in the corner of his cell. He was nothing like Hela remembered him. His face was thin and his clothes were rags. His once sharp eyes were blood shot and dull. He looked entirely and positively lifeless. "What do you want from me?" he rasped. "After all these years, what does the little princess want from me, that she must travel to the Underworld to ask of?" "I need information," Hela replied. "And I need your help." Zeph looked up at the young girl and grinned darkly. Six years after Zeph's defeat, Hela had become a sharp young girl in middle school. Spending her weeks at S.H.I.E.L.D. and her weekends in Asgard with her father, she's grown up to a relatively normal lifestyle. But now, Hela hears the familiar calls of a woman asking for her help. She'll need the help of new and old friends alike to uncover the woman's cowl, and to save what has been lost.

"Her name is Hela," he replied, watching the infant lose interest in the shield and move onto something else. Hela looked up at the mention of her name and the same grin came across her face. The smile reminded the Avengers of Loki, it was clearly obvious. The child seemed more innocent, but she was clearly his daughter. It didn't take a genius to know what they were about to do. The Avengers were about to have their hands full. Loki's only daughter was taken from him when she was just a baby. Her father was a criminal and unfit to care for her, and her mother was dead, so Odin ordered Hela to be sent to Midgard. Thor automatically calls up S.H.I.E.L.D. and soon Hela is being sent there to be raised by the Avengers. How will the young girl turn out being raised by superheroes, and more importantly, how will Earth's Mightiest Heroes fair against Loki's daughter?
