The Demon King
(The Kings Series, #9)
by Heather Killough-Walden
Blurb:
Dahlia Kellen has been through hell. Raised in a fae society that slowly drove her mad, she turned traitor against her people and was cast out. But in an act of heroism that clearly exposed her for the good she was, she rose up against the true evil threatening her people, and in her efforts to stop that evil, she was terribly transformed. Now dark, different, and feeling truly exiled in her soul, Dahlia has a chance encounter with a man in Boston. A man whose gaze is as dark and haunted as her own… and whose craven desire for her and dangerous, powerful bloodline will show Dahlia that for her, hell is just the beginning.
“I’ve come with a message about your father,” said the stranger.
“You’re speaking of Marius.” Marius was dead. Laz would know; he’d killed him.
But the messenger smiled. “No, no. Not quite,” he said, white teeth gleaming in an unholy grin. “Think bigger. Think badder.”
Steven Lazarus is a seasoned detective with the Boston police force who has always served and protected, and done so by the book. But the Akyri King’s insides are heating up, a painful yearning is tearing away at him, and his tall, strong body has become capable of a dark, violent magic he can barely control. His dangerous past has caught up with him, and he can scarcely stand to look at his own reflection. He doesn’t recognize the man staring back at him, and that terrifies him.
Because he knows the powerful, hungry man in the mirror wants Dahlia Kellen just as badly as he does. And if he has to, he’ll raise hell to claim her.
The Demon King is the 9th book in the best selling The Big Bad Wolf spinoff series, The Kings, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Heather Killough-Walden.

Excerpt
She quickly pushed herself up. At
once, the pain was back. She winced and again inhaled sharply,
hissing hard through clenched teeth. Clearly, the spell meant to
punish resistance. With each passing second, Dahlia was more
convinced that attacking the hooded figures had been the right
choice. She didn’t let up now, despite the pain. Countless years of
being forced into a kind of servitude to her Tuathian bloodline and
the sexual demands it made on the physical form had taught her well
that she was simply not born to be obligated or beholden to anyone.
Ever.
There was little more precious to Dahlia Kellen than her freedom. She
had learned that lesson well.
“Watch
it, back off!” It was the same man who’d spoken earlier, warning
those who had drawn near to her.
Dahlia’s
vision once more shifted, contrasts sharpened, and her hands flooded
with power. She cried out as the spell that had been cast on her
threatened to crack her bones in half and the cold continued to
spread. She glanced down at her body, viewing it through battle-tones
and expecting it to see blue and covered with rime. But it looked no
different than usual.
No
damage, then, she
thought. Only pain.
The
spell was designed to hurt, not harm. For some reason, that made her
even more furious. The fire building in her palms leapt with height
and took on a reddish-purple cast. It had never done that before. She
could feel it draining an inordinate amount of strength from her
form, but at the same time, the darkening of her magic’s flames
eased the strain up on her eyes a bit, allowing her to better see her
targets. It also felt
better. At first it was hard to put her finger on it, but Dahlia
realized, as the magic continued to build, that it was lessening the
pain of the spell that had been cast on her. It was negating it,
warming her from the inside out like a hot drink of coffee in a snow
storm.
She
smiled, allowing her fangs to show. She didn’t even care that she
was being drained by this new dark force. It was worth it.
Across
the warehouse from her, a single hooded figure slowly pushed back his
hood. Piercing blue eyes glowed with a different menacing fire,
locking onto her with their own kind of darkness. No,
Dahlia thought. Not
darkness. Wrongness.
She
would know it anywhere.
