Dragqueens: Bloodballs and belladonna

She was supposed to die on the execution stage. Instead, she made it fashionable. Belladonna Grimveil, exiled royal and glamor-touched renegade, rises from her own execution in heels sharp enough to stab a kingdom. With a demon fused to her soul and a mouth faster than a holy blade, she storms back into the world ready to do one thing:Burn the court. Slay the queens. Own the throne. But power in Verastryne comes with a price, and every queen, priest, and masked enemy wants Belladonna dead before she can claim her crown.
From cursed arenas and drag-infused tournaments to deadly glamor duels and divine assassins, she must outfight, outshine, and out-shade everyone standing in her way. At Dragmourne Academy, betrayal hides under powdered wigs, secrets whisper through enchanted mirrors, and magic bleeds fiercer than anyone admits. Belladonna faces holy inquisitors, sentient wigs, mirror traps, rival queens, assassins in couture, and a sister she didn't know she had, one raised to kill her.
And in the shadows, Moura, the woman who made Belladonna's power possible, watches with dangerous interest. Mentor? Manipulator? Monster? Belladonna will have to decide before the final crown shatters. If looks could kill, she wouldn't stop at one. Welcome to the DarkVerse. Come fierce, or don't come at all. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, drag queens with daggers, supernatural academies, queer magic, demon-kissed glamour, and characters who refuse to apologize for being iconic.
