Queen of Pain

Marina's attempt to lead a normal life falls short when her kingdom is besieged by dangerous mercenaries hired to bring her under the control of a huge corporation. Her return to a life of violence against a plethora of enemies, despite guidance from unlikely allies, becomes necessary to vanquish an enemy far superior and organized than any she faced before.

Queen of Pain is the second book in the Pain series. Look for Reign of Pain in the future to complete the series when Marina takes on the corporation itself that threatens her life as she seeks to rebuild her parents' alliance and bring peace to her people.
