'Tony Lee is one of the best story-tellers working in comics today' – Michael Moorcock
The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling urban fantasy series continues!
Ryder Waites has finally avenged his mother's death. The Joker has been exposed, the ancient bargain of Gallows Hill lies shattered, and Ryder has ascended to King of Spades – one of the most powerful positions in the American Deck. But victory has come at a terrible cost.
His powers have returned. All of them. And with them, memories of the monster he used to be – the Little Prince, the half-Fae weapon who killed without remorse. Now something is stirring in the shadows of his mind. Something with his face. Something that refuses to stay buried.
Meanwhile, Nine – now Queen of Spades – has learned a devastating truth about her mother's disappearance seven years ago. A truth that points to betrayal from someone she trusted, someone who has already fled across the Atlantic, where the Deck of Thorns conspiracy runs deeper than anyone imagined.
As Ryder and Nine pursue answers through the magical courts of Europe, they discover that the war isn't coming – it's already here. The Thorns have infiltrated every major Deck. Old alliances are crumbling. And somewhere in the spaces between worlds, Nine's mother might still be alive... if they can find her before their enemies do.
But the prophecy that binds Ryder and Nine together speaks of two paths: they will either become the greatest alliance the magical world has ever seen, or they will destroy each other. And with the Little Prince whispering in Ryder's ear, urging him toward the darkness he's fought so hard to escape, the line between ally and enemy has never been thinner.
Some crowns are earned. Others are cursed. And the King of Spades is about to learn which one he wears...
The third book in the pulse-pounding Playing Card War series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Tony Lee (Doctor Who, X-Men), King Of Storms is perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London, the Faerie courts of Holly Black, Roger Zelazny's Amber Chronicles, and Sarah J. Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses.
