Dark One's Mistress
by Aldrea Alien

Summary from Goodreads:
For centuries, the people have lived under the protection of their
so-called Dark Lord. Now, with news of his death reaching the quiet village of
Everdark, rumour whispers that his son, Lucias, is hunting for a mistress to
beget him an heir.
Clara doesn't put much stock in village gossip, until she finds herself forcibly taken to the Lord's fortress. Escape is not easy. She has no way out and, against a man with magic, little chance of fighting back. But the Lords are still men and the death of Lucias' father is proof that they die just the same. And yet, if Lucias dies heirless, his army will be free to terrorise the land.
Such is the goal of Lenora of Ne'ermore, an old enemy and ex-prisoner of the kingdom. She is sending a man to slaughter Lucias and, to ensure there's no chance of an heir, his mistress must die as well.
Caught between regaining her freedom or losing it for the good of the kingdom, Clara struggles to decide her path before certain death breaches the gates.

Hello and thank you for letting me
interview you today.
Hi! I'm so excited to be here!
Was writing your first love? No, my first love was palaeontology, but I started
being bugged by stories at about twelve and haven't really stopped writing
since.
Where do you like to write? I like to write in private, preferably when there's
no one at all in the house. That's rarely much of a reality, so I settle for
alone in the bedroom or with headphones on in the dining room.
Is writing everything you thought it would be? No, it's definitely more than I thought when I first
started.
Who is/was your favourite character to write about? In this novel, it's a tie between Lucias and Tommy.
I've a weakness for the brooding, mysterious types and Tommy is just an
adorable bundle of… well, Tommy.
Over all my novels, it's Tracker
from In Pain and Blood.
Who was your last book boyfriend / girlfriend? No boy/girl choosing here, let's do both! Derek of
Thanmir War and Lisa of the Sunstone comics. I don't care that I'd have to
fight off their respective girlfriends. :P
Do you like warm or cold day? Warm, definitely warm. My family has a running joke
that I must be part lizard because of my intense dislike of the cold.
Tea, coffee, or rum? Tea, as long as it's the decaffeinated kind. Don't do
the others. Ugh, I know how boring am I?
Do you like scary movies / stories? No. Not because they scare me at the time, but
because my imagination runs wild afterwards. I couldn't sleep without the dog
on the bed for a week after watching one such movie.
Finally
Do you write in one sitting or in bursts? Bursts. I've a
habit of plotting several novels at once, so there is the occasional scene that
I might get out in one go before settling back into the main novel I'm writing.
So bursts are how much of the story comes together.
Thanks again >.<
Thank you for having me!

Aldrea Alien is a New Zealand author of romantic speculative fiction of varying heat levels.
She grew up on a small farm out the back blocks of a place known as Wainuiomata alongside a menagerie of animals, who are all convinced they're just as human as the next person (especially the cats). She spent a great deal of her childhood riding horses, whilst the rest of her time was consumed with reading every fantasy book she could get her hands on and concocting ideas about a little planet known as Thardrandia. This would prove to be the start of The Rogue King Saga as, come her twelfth year, she discovered there was a book inside her.
Aldrea now lives in Upper Hutt, on yet another small farm with a less hectic, but still egotistical, group of animals (cats will be cats). She still hasn't yet found an off switch to give her an ounce of peace from the characters plaguing her mind, a list that grows bigger every year with all of them clamouring for her to tell their story first. It's a lot of people for one head.
