Plot Summary

But, trying to survive as a succubus in the chaste culture of the Fae might prove to be fatal for Maelyrra. Under her husband’s watchful eye, she must find a way to survive.
Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on May 29, 2022
Maelyrra is Queen, but even a queen faces strife and conflict unbidden. Azaersyss used her powers to seduce and take her King in lust. Revenge was expected to be sweet, but a misstep and her own lack of care gives rise to a curse which Maelyrra cannot believe until it is too late. Being a succubus in a world that goes against one’s nature is a curse beyond words.
The work is mainly focused on the mental aspects through which Maelyrra is forced to experience once she is cursed. It’s a telling journey through her own need and the enflaming of passions she struggles against. Her fall is a long and slow battle which she ignores and then grudingly discovers is real. There’s no physical transformations, but the gaining of succubus-like needs is well told throughout.
The succubus at the core of this, Azaersyss, while having a fiery personality, isn’t really described well. She is a temptation, she does bring desires, but is that actually from being a succubus or just being described as one? There are some really well told hints of her form, but it’s fleeting and something of a mystery. Certainly her power and hold over others suggests she is a succubus but no horns or tail does bring questions for the future.
Overall the work is just slightly a succubus story. It’s clearly more involved with telling of Maelyrra dealing with her curse and what that drives her towards. There is need and passion that tells the story well and that was enjoyable. Perhaps the missing piece is what brought Azaersyss to be there and what her real purpose is. That is a mystery worth exploring.
Three out of five pitchforks.
There really isn’t much in the way of an overt appearance of succubi themes so far, but the groundwork is there. Given this is the beginning of the series, there’s a lot of story to tell, many characters are given their place and as such it is intriguing/ Hopefully the next part will bring some telling of why things are and where things need to go.
