Book Synopsis
From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes the remarkable sequel to the USA Today and Sunday Times bestselling novel, Witch King. A fantasy of epic scope, Queen Demon is a story of power and friendship, of trust and betrayal, and of the families we choose.
Dahin, a beloved member of the Witch King's coterie, believes he has clues to the location of the Hierarchs' Well, and the Witch King Kai, along with his companions Ziede and Tahren, knowing there's something he isn't telling them, travel with him to the rebuilt university of Ancartre, which may be dangerously close to finding the Well itself. Can Kai stop the rise of a new Hierarch? And can he trust his companions to do what's right? Follow Kai to the end of the world in this thrilling sequel to the USA Today-bestselling Witch King.Review Quotes

A LibraryReads Pick! "Wells is working at the height of her powers here, and it's relaxing to be carried along for a ride in the company of such a phenomenal storyteller." --The New York Times "A wonderfully original world, sympathetic characters and a solid quest make Witch King the satisfying fantasy you yearn for when named swords and cursed rings begin to grow stale." --The Wall Street Journal "A wildly original and complex fantasy exploring how revolutions are won through trust, and destroyed through selfishness. Wells excels at brooding, powerful inhuman protagonists who just need a little kindness to be their badass best." --N. K. Jemisin "...The kind of novel you want to sink into, with a narrative style that hooks you in and makes it impossible to put down." --Alex Brown for NPR "Unlike anything I've ever read. A layered and complex novel that delivers on the promise of epic fantasy." --Zoraida Córdova "Fantasy readers looking for new worlds and characters to explore will be enthralled." --Library Journal
