Island Refuge: The Crown of Thorns
(2026)(The fourth book in the Vampire Elven Paradise series)
A novel by Gentry Davidson
The war is over. The real fight is just beginning.
Eight months after the Battle of Malolo, Jason Ducard holds the supernatural world together with duct tape and diplomacy. His coven of seven powerful women runs an island compound that serves as the capital of a fledgling Alliance. His three hybrid children are developing abilities no one can explain. And the man who helped them win the war is quietly building a weapon to enslave them all.
Lord Ashworth's Compliance Signal can rewrite the bonds of any supernatural being. His network reaches from the bottom of the Mariana Trench to the crystal halls of the Geneva Sanctum. And when the Masquerade shatters and the human world discovers that magic is real, Ashworth plans to use the chaos to seize control of both civilizations.
Jason has a former assassin learning to garden. A hacker whose baby daughter can outcode her. A lawyer rewriting the rules of supernatural governance. A financial genius waging war across thirty-one jurisdictions. And a US Navy admiral who just walked out of a helicopter and into his life.
The coven is eight now. The children are growing. The enemy is everywhere.
And the crown of thorns is heavier than any throne.
