Crimson King: The Seven Hungers Book 1

"Ten years since the Crown pulled my sorcerer's credentials and exiled me to London. Now a demon king from the third hunger is threatening our world, and the Crown has come knocking on my door. Time to save the world again, but first, I need a shower." Censured Crown sorcerer Ambrose Drake is hired to investigate a bizarre emergence in a city halfway across the world from his native London.

Flanked by his ex-lover and betrayer, Agent Karen Winter and a young acolyte with a severe lack of magical ability, Drake must plunge once more into the depths to save humanity. The Seven Hungers is a fast-paced fantasy thriller which blends sorcery, horror elements and the exploration of dark new worlds with intense emotional struggle.
