I Don't Want to be the Hive Queen

Marcus had a terrible Monday: fired from his job, then shot dead in a robbery. He woke up as a weak, strange creature in a fantasy world full of deadly monsters. Now he must survive as a Vex Queen — and to do that, bravery alone won't cut it. He needs to build a Hive before the monsters get to him first.

After leaving the Caligare Forest behind, Marcus has established his new hive in the Kingdom of Medelan. But peace remains a faraway dream — a mighty orc horde led by a powerful Oni rises from the forest. Marcus must prepare to face an enemy that shares more similarities with him than he'd expect, all while controlling his own growing powers. As yesterday's enemies become today's allies, the question remains: who wins, the Swarm or the Horde?
