Witches, magic, and demons! This urban fantasy series has it all!
Hana Mae Jin does not believe in magic. Unfortunately, magic believes in her.
When the hospital where Mae Jin works is attacked by terrifying monsters, a power the mortuary assistant never knew she possessed awakens, sending a wave of magic across New York that has unforeseen repercussions.
Nikolai Stanisic has only one wish. To stop the Sorcerer King from carrying out the dreadful scheme that was put into motion the night his mother was killed. His only chance at success lies in rousing the soul of the being the Sorcerer King fears the most: the rightful Witch Queen, fated to save the world of magic and rule over it.
Thrust into a fantastical realm hidden from mortal eyes, Mae soon learns of her mythical past and the incredible destiny that awaits her. Armed with the weapon and the familiar who were once promised to her, she joins forces with Nikolai and Vlad Vissarion, a seductive Russian mobster who wants to stop a demon-infested gang from taking over the city's criminal underworld.
Mae, Nikolai, and Vlad soon find themselves facing an enemy far more vicious than they could ever have imagined. Can they stop the terrifying plot set in motion by the Sorcerer King and his Dark Council before it's too late?
The Darkest Night is the first book in the brand-new urban fantasy series Witch Queen. Witch Queen is the third series set in the bestselling Seventeen universe and follows on from the Seventeen and Legion series. It contains references to characters in the other series and the odd cameo appearance.
