Description

QuiTai, ruthless concubine of Levapur’s mysterious crime lord, the Devil, receives an unexpected invitation to cocktails with disgraced Thampurian Kyam Zul. She doesn’t trust Kyam enough to drink anything he pours, and won’t help him no matter how hard he begs – or threatens. But when QuiTai’s ex-lover is murdered, Kyam is the only one who knows the name of the killer, and he won’t tell QuiTai unless she helps him first.

The torpid back alleyways of Levapur’s tropical colony hide more than lovers. There are things with claws, beings with venomous fangs, and spies lurking in the jungle.

Most of them want to keep their secrets.

One wants QuiTai dead.

Advance Praise

“Braden’s story is surprising, fun, and sexy. So are her characters. These are people you want to party with. Just watch your back.”

—Michael Thomas Ford, winner of multiple Lambda Literary awards and author of the popular Jane Bites Back series.

* * *

In The Devil’s Concubine Jill Braden creates a world teeming with enough wildly fantastic variations to offer a feast for the imagination, yet familiar enough to believe. Steampunk elements blend seamlessly with ecological wonders and deadly human adaptations. QuiTai is a strong, complex woman, seductive with both men and women, whose many-layered and engrossing story keeps you on edge to see what happens next, and leaves you satisfied but still eager to know more. I look forward to her sequel.
