Safe

All it took was one day.

In one day, blood was shed.

In one day, humankind was reduced to more than half of its population.

In one day, humans went from weak to powerful.

In one day, everything changed for her.

Years have passed since this fateful day, she is now queen and protector of her kind.

The demons that attacked her world are alive and thriving in Lucifer's kingdom.

With her warriors at her side and the loyalty of her people, she is willing to go to hell and back as many times as she has to in order exact revenge, and protect her people.

Through her journey she finds betrayal, love, pain, and a family.
