What this book is about
Reyes is the Lord who carries Pain—he can only feel anything, even pleasure, through physical pain. Danika Ford, a human woman whose family was nearly killed by the Lords, is inexplicably drawn to him. The Darkest Pleasure is the series' most psychologically interesting early entry, with a hero whose self-harm is the series' most frank exploration of that theme.
