What this book is about
Kai is a demon — a powerful one — who wakes up imprisoned at the bottom of a lake, his body bound and his memory incomplete. To escape, he must inhabit a recently dead body and piece together what happened while preventing whatever was being planned. Told in alternating timelines between the present escape and the past coalition that shaped Kai's world, Witch King is a secondary world fantasy about power, loyalty, and what it means to build something worth protecting — from the author of the Murderbot Diaries.
