Throne of Nightmares

A boot crushes Lucian Cross’s throat—but the shadows beneath his wheelchair suddenly sprout teeth. As the disgraced investigator chokes on blood, something ancient awakens inside his nightmares… and the men beating him become his first victims. By day, Lucian is a crippled outcast left to rot in the Undercity. By night, he rules an eldritch dream realm, harvesting fear to rebuild his shattered body and hunt the inquisitors who paralyzed him. When lethal assassin Vesper Vance is forced to protect his helpless mortal shell, she unknowingly binds her soul to the nightmare lord he secretly commands. Now the Inquisition is breaching his door, his body is failing, and Vesper must choose: save the man in the wheelchair—or kneel before the monster in his dreams.
