Silver Crown King (Demon Lord #5)

BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FIRE WITH HELLFIRE, THERE’S CAINE DEATHWALKER, RAISED AS A DEMON, ARMED LIKE A GUN MERCHANT, AND FUELED BY BOOZE. NICE IS A DIRTY WORD AND KILLING IS WHAT HE DOES BEST. MAKE A CONTRACT WITH HELL, AND HE COULD BE ON YOUR SIDE—GOD HELP YOU.

IN SILVER CROWN KING: CAINE’S CORONATION DATE AS A LORD OF FAIRY IS FAST APPROACHING. AS A DEMON LORD, HIS WELCOME HAS BEEN ICY. THE FEY GENTRY ARE CHOOSING SIDES. SOME SUPPORT HIM. OTHERS WANT HIM VERY DEAD. THERE IS NO LACK OF ASSASSINS AMBUSHING HIM EVERYWHERE HE TURNS, BOTH IN L.A. AND UNDER-THE-HILL.

THOSE HE DEPENDS UPON HAVE ISSUES OF THEIR OWN: THE OLD MAN IS RETIRING AND GETTING MARRIED—UNLESS HIS BRIDE KILLS HIM FIRST. CAINE’S LAWYER HAS BEEN SAVAGELY ASSAULTED AND ISN’T DEALING WELL WITH HER NEW RESPONSIBILITIES AS ALPHA TO THE LOCAL WEREWOLF PACK. HIS ENEMIES ARE EVEN USING MAGIC TO MESS WITH HIM IN HIS NIGHTMARES. ARMIES ARE GATHERING TO TAKE HIM DOWN, AND ALL THAT HIS SOUL MATE SELENE WANTS TO DO IS CHAIN HIM NAKED TO HER BED. WORST OF ALL, ONE OF HIS ENEMIES TURNS OUT TO BE A FEMALE VERSION OF HIM, AND SHE’S JUST AS HARD TO KILL.

FORTUNATELY FOR CAINE, DEEP ANIMAL CUNNING AND SOUL-SEARING VIOLENCE IS HIS BEST WAY OUT.
