About the Book
Together in one volume--three novels from the classic Demon Princes series. The Demon Princes are a race of beings who disguise themselves as humans and delight in power and destruction. The affairs of mere mortals mean little to them and their actions spell doom for millions. Keith Gersen is not a Demon Prince, but he's got a stake in finding five of them--the five who massacred his family and obliterated his planet.Book Synopsis

Three princes will fall before Kirth's work is done, and two more await their doom...
