Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buffalo Grove. The city happens to be under new protectorship, and thats the perfect time to test its latest champions mettle during the transition. Only, universal conflict tends to be unconcerned with such things and unimpressed by local quarrels. But home court does normally present an advantage for the host, and Denah Tress will need all of it when she returns to crime fighting form as her alter ego the real life superheroine, Domina. Every much the technical envisioning of nanite theory and cerebral telling of a BDSM tale (without the physical eroticism) from the first story, Domina 2: Blood Can Be Revoked addresses the worthiness of the woman who was handpicked to replace a Crimson Red Belt as Buffalo Groves and by extension, Earths protector.
