About the book
Follow Kai to the end of the world in this thrilling sequel to the USA Today-bestselling Witch King.
From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes the remarkable sequel to the USA Today and Sunday Times bestselling novel, Witch King. Queen Demon is a fantasy of epic scope, a story of power and friendship, trust and betrayal, and the families we choose.
Dahin, a cherished member of the Witch King's coterie, believes he has discovered clues to the location of the Hierarchs' Well. The Witch King Kai, accompanied by his friends Ziede and Tahren, suspecting Dahin is withholding information, decide to join him on a journey to the rebuilt university of Ancartre, which may be dangerously close to uncovering the Well itself.
Can Kai prevent the emergence of a new Hierarch?
And can he rely on his companions to make the right decisions?
