What this book is about
Strider, keeper of the demon of Defeat, is compelled by his demon to accept any challenge thrown at him — including a challenge issued by Kaia the Harpy, the most infuriating woman he's ever met. Showalter's eighth Lords of the Underworld novel is her signature paranormal romance: action-heavy, sensual, and laced with dark humor.
