King of the Witches

From the fantasy superstar and author of The Killerbot Diaries comes a remarkable new story about power and friendship, trust and betrayal, and the families we choose.
When the Witch King and Prince of the Fourth House of the Underworld, Kaisteron (or simply Kai to his powerful friends and unusual relatives), awakens to find himself trapped in a magical trap, the first question he asks is: how did he even get there? Learning that the witch Zide, his closest ally, is also trapped, Kai makes a spectacular escape not only from his bonds but from his own body. This isn't the first time he's pulled such a stunt. We learn this through a cleverly woven narrative that weaves together the past with the thrilling events of the present. Kai's adversaries include magic-wielding sages, terrifying monsters, arrogant Arai warriors, wily politicians, and unimaginably powerful foreign sorcerers bent on global domination. Confused, Kai finds himself at war with both his demonic nature and his enemies. He will have to rely on old allies and newly acquired friends to unravel his enemy's mysteries. As a conspiracy at the highest levels of the Emerging World, the empire Kai helped create, unfolds, questions outnumber answers, and the danger mounts. "The Witch King" is Martha Wells's new novel. For the first time in over a decade, she returns to the fantasy genre that once made her one of the most important writers of her generation. Martha Wells's signature ability is to create captivating characters we love, connect with, and take them on thrilling adventures.
