Waking the Queen — Saranna DeWylde

Detective Brynn Hill is on the hunt for an angel of mercy killer who's been targeting war veterans. Once Brynn has a killer in her sites, there's no escape. She's a hunter of hunters: judge, jury and executioner for those who slip through the cracks in the system. But her angel of mercy killer isn't what she seems. She's a Valkyrie sent to bring fallen warriors home and trigger Brynn's journey to ascension.

Brynn is more than just a cop, more than just the screwed up daughter of an infamous serial killer. She is the Darkyrie Helreggin. The Queen of Hel born again to cage the evil that no other power can. It's her destiny to lead the armies of the damned and fulfill a birthright that will change the nine worlds forever.

If a mysterious, scarred assassin doesn't kill her first.
