Two
worlds. Bound by magic. Divided by a door.
On
the barren, war-ravaged demon world of Eriis, the fierce queen Hellne
fights to keep her people alive and her son Rhuun's heritage a
secret.
On
the green and gentle human world of Mistra, demons have faded into
myth. Only a handful of old men and fanatical children still guard
The Door between the worlds.
Different
and shunned by his demon kin, Rhuun finds refuge in a book that tells
of a human world of water and wonder. Forced by his mother's enemies
to flee Eriis, he finds himself trapped on the other side of The Door
in the very place he has read and dreamed about—Mistra.
Chained
to the deadly whims of a child who guards The Door, Rhuun must
balance serving and surviving, even at the risk of exposing his true
identity. Riskiest of all is his task of kidnapping an infuriating
young woman who is about to find out that the demons of Eriis are
much, much more than just an old bedtime story.
The
Demon Door can be opened...but the price is deadly.
Prince
Rhuun has found acceptance among the humans on Mistra, something he
could never have in the demon realm of Eriis, not even as heir to its
throne. What's more, he has even found love with the prickly,
passionate heiress, Lelet va'Everly.
The
idyll can't last. The prince has enemies who are after more than his
throne. They are out for his blood…which holds the key to unsealing
The Door between the two worlds, and the demons want in. When Rhuun
is lured into a trap on Eriis, Lelet has no choice but to turn to a
motley group of exiles, children, and madmen to help save him.
Lelet
soon discovers that, like all things, rescuing the prince comes with
a price. The secrets in Rhuun's blood may be worth killing for, but
are they worth dying for?
Love
opens all doors…but betrayal locks them forever.
Newly
blessed (or cursed) with wings and fire, Prince Rhuun of the demon
realm of Eriis sees hope for his life on the human world of Mistra
with his fierce human lover, Lelet va'Everley. She literally went to
hell and back to save him, and she's not about to let anything—or
anyone—ruin their perfect future.
All
too soon, the claims of family, duty, and justice force Rhuun and
Lelet to confront new griefs and old mistakes as they attempt to
restore balance to the throne of Eriis. But, with every jealous rumor
and each vengeful whisper, friends turn, family schemes, and
forgotten enemies creep from the shadows.
Treachery
in Eriis and betrayal in Mistra jeopardize what Rhuun and Lelet have
fought so hard to build, threatening to tear apart the two lovers,
their families, and even their worlds.
SOMETIMES
LOVE DOESN’T CHANGE THE WORLD. SOMETIMES IT CHANGES ALL OF
THEM.
Rhuun,
the half-human and wholly-reluctant prince of the demons, has finally
reunited with his fiery Lelet. It’s too bad they must hide behind a
facade of icy indifference to fool those who are determined to keep
demons and humans apart...by any means necessary.
There
is more at stake than bringing the miracle of rain back to Eriis.
It's not just sand and lost royals poised to come through the
newly-opened Door. Something ancient is hungry, and fat, complacent
Mistra won't stand a chance. Even worse, whispers and shadows speak
of blood magic that could destroy not just The Door, but all
Doors—forever—barring the way home for lovers and enemies
alike.
Will
the love Rhuun and Lelet have moved worlds to share be the very thing
they must sacrifice to save their worlds?
Full
of her signature blend of exquisite world-building, sly humor, and
poignant prose, The River King is the gripping conclusion to Kim
Alexander's critically-acclaimed Demon Door saga.
