A lone woman, a mystery that haunts her and a royal official are all that Sefria knows. Having no idea what happened to her or why she was on this stretch of road in the dark hours. All she knows is her name and that she killed someone. Anything else is a blank in her mind. Being saved by Grendon, Sefria doesn’t trust him but has no choice in the matter. Grendon has secrets of his own and he is determined to use Sefria for his purposes as he knows she can topple a kingdom unless she is managed right. For Grendon is determined to use her unknown power to his own ends. Can Sefria find a way to remember her past so she can have a future?

THE KING’S DEMON is an interesting story full of supernatural mysteries, creatures and more. Ms. Cooper writes an engrossing story that will hook the reader from the first page to the last. I was up most of the evening trying to see what would happen next for Sefria and if she would figure out her mysterious benefactor, Grendon. Full of intriguing characters, a fast paced storyline and many twists and turns will leave the reader turning the pages to see what would happen next. Ms. Cooper is a “new to me” author and I was eager to check out her other works after reading THE KING’S DEMON.

In THE KING’S DEMON, you meet Sefria, a woman who can’t remember her past and why she was walking down that lonely stretch of road at that time of night. When she is almost plowed down by Grendon’s horse, he finds himself rescuing her though her amnesia leaves him with more questions than answers. With a supernatural power Sefria is unaware of, Grendon finds the perfect weapon to take down the creatures that are plaguing the kingdom. The question is: will Sefria find out he is using her while trying to remember her lost memories? Ms. Cooper delves deep into these two flawed characters and I was intrigued by the powers both displayed throughout the story. It was a nice twist on vampires and paranormal that had me glued to the pages, eager for more. The dynamics between Grendon and Sefria start out rough but slowly it builds and as secrets come to light, both find they have to choose between being a prisoner and being free.

THE KING’S DEMON is a very well told story that will keep you highly entertained from the first page to the last. If you enjoy a different twist on your paranormal, then grab this enjoyable story.

THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THIS BOOK. THIS IS AN OBJECTIVE UNBIASED REVIEW.
