The epic, magical saga of royalty, romance, and violence continues.
A princess. A soldier. A servant. A demon hunter. A thief. When we last
saw them, this unlikely group was heading into the Northern Territory of
the kingdom of Pitoria, on the run from the sadistic and power-hungry
King Aloysius of Brigant. The Smoke Thieves have discovered that demon
smoke is not only an illegal drug used for pleasure, but in fact, when
taken by children, demon smoke briefly gives its users super-human
strength. Aloysius' plan is simple and brutal: kill the demons for their
smoke, and use that smoke to build an unstoppable army of children to
take over Pitoria, Calidor, and then the rest of the world. The Smoke
Thieves are the only ones who understand this plan--but can they stop
it? Catherine, Aloysius' daughter, is seen as a traitor from all sides;
Tash is heartbroken after the loss of her one friend and sees nothing
left for her in the human world; Edyon is wanted for murder; March is
carrying the secret of his betrayal of his new love; Ambrose is out for
revenge--and all the while, the demons have plans of their own...
