From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes a remarkable story of power and
friendship of trust and betrayal and of the families we choose. "I didn't know you were
a... demon." "You idiot. I'm the demon." Kai's having a long day in Martha Wells' WITCH
KING.... After being murdered his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time
while confined in an elaborate water trap Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to
harness Kai's magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well. But why was Kai
imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why
does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence? Kai will need to pull his
allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these
questions. He's not going to like the answers. WITCH KING is Martha Wells's first new
fantasy in over a decade drawing together her signature ability to create characters we adore
and identify with alongside breathtaking action and adventure and the wit and charm we've
come to expect from one of the leading writers of her generation.
