The Last Queen of the Underverse
A novel by Donnavon Evans (aka Foto Dono)
Where science meets myth, and a lost astronaut becomes legend.

What if the next great discovery in space wasn’t another planet—but a door?
When NASA Commander Rebecca Lopez steps through a mysterious gateway in orbit, she falls into the Underverse—a realm where stories breathe, memories can be sold, and time itself likes to play tricks. What begins as a desperate attempt to return home becomes a journey through a surreal world of impossible beauty and quiet horror. Guided by unlikely allies like Chalky—a cracked marble maid with more heart than sense—and hunted by the nightmare called the Dente Nocturn, Rebecca soon discovers the Underverse may have chosen her for something far greater: to become its next Queen… whether she wants to or not.
Blending science fiction, fantasy, and myth, The Last Queen of the Underverse explores love, loss, and the choices that define us—even when the universe itself is rewriting the rules.
“Every story has a beginning. Some just start with a fall through a door.”

Reader Note: While The Last Queen of the Underverse keeps its tongue firmly in cheek, it does wander through a few dark corridors—loss, memory, survival, and the occasional cosmic brawl. There are monsters here, some made of nightmares and others made of memories. None linger long enough to be truly terrifying, but they do bite now and then. Expect stylized fantasy violence, emotional peril, and the kind of danger that makes the story worth telling. No gore, no cruelty for cruelty’s sake—just a few bruised hearts, a cracked sky, and a good laugh in the dark. Recommended for readers fourteen and up (and anyone who still believes doors can lead anywhere).
