In the realm of paranormal romance, no author burns hotter than New York Times bestselling author Marjorie M. Liu The Fire King is yet another blazing example of her originality, sensuality, and breathtaking storytelling prowess. Her passionate tales centered around the mysterious Dirk and Steele Detective Agency--with its roster of enigmatic psychics, telepaths, shapeshifters, and extraordinary beings--have set a high standard for this popular romance subgenre. In The Fire King, her tormented shape-shifting hero--once almost a god, now much more than a man--freed against his will from an eternal darkness, must overcome his rage and the pain of his tragic past by accepting the love of a remarkable woman with an extraordinary gift.
