Luciana's Curse

((COMPANION TO MY DEAR CHARLOTTE))
"There would be long stretches of time where Mother wouldn't know where she was, or who she was with. She kept calling out for her older sister, but of course she wasn't with us anymore. Mother didn't remember that she couldn't see her anymore. Often times, she didn't know who I even was. We just had to wait through it, and hope that she came back to herself eventually."
"That's rough."
"Yeah." I whispered. "It is."

Luciana- the sheltered child of Queen Charlotte, Empress of the Underworld and Ruler of the dead. For eighteen years she has watched her mother's steady descent into darkness and the madness that comes with the destroying of a pure soul. Ciana's coronation is in her very near future, as her mother plans to step down and give over the throne. But Ciana has never even stepped outside the castle walls, let alone gone out into the Mortal World to see if she might find her soul mate, her true pairing, and the next King of the Underworld. Against her mother's judgement and the warnings of her advisers, Ciana sneaks away from her sheltered life and finds herself thrown into the bustling halls of a human high school, and the complications that come with living a human life. She realizes that maybe her mother had a point, because with Orianna on the rise and a startlingly good-looking angel suddenly finding his way into her life, she might have taken more than she bargained for.
