Publisher Description
The long-awaited ninth book in the Demon series returns to the adventures of Kara Gillian and the supernatural threats that surround her
Kara’s drastic ceasefire deal with the formidable demon Imperator Dekkak slowed the attacks on Earth to a trickle, but her troubles are far from over. The god-like demahnk are desperate to return to their own kind, but unless they can stabilize the demon realm, they’ll be forever exiled—and they’ve subjugated Kara’s beloved Mzatal to further their hellacious cause. One faction of demonic lords and demahnk has a plan to fix their world, yet their salvation would come at the expense of Earth.
Meanwhile, Kara is wrestling with government bureaucracy, backstabbing allies, enemy lords, as well as the powerful young demonic lord Ashava, who’s packing the drama, angst, and rebellion of the terrible teen years into just a few months.
Kara’s in a race to stop an apocalypse, but in order to prevail she’ll have to make a terrible sacrifice or risk losing everything she holds dear.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With both human and demon worlds on the verge of collapse, humans, demons, and lords (human-demon hybrids) must forge an unlikely alliance in Rowland's explosive final Kara Gillian urban fantasy (after Legacy of the Demon). Fresh off of negotiating a cease-fire with the demon Dekkak, Kara and her team at the compound barely have a chance to breathe before their next big threat literally shows up at their front door. The demon Jesral comes knocking with his own army in tow and Mzatal, the love of Kara's life, under mind-control. As his own world is dying, Jesral plans to take over Earth—and he's hitting the compound first. Should Jesral succeed, it would mean the return to Earth of the Ekiri, "a noncorporeal, immortal race of telepathic beings." Now all must pick sides in the series's greatest showdown yet. Rowland packs in the action and surprises on the way to an ending that does the series proud. Fans are in for a powerful, fulfilling finale.
