It’s not easy being King. It is near impossible or so Eric, formerly a physics teacher turned vampire/king of Karvalen, has found. Especially when you have an allergy to sunrise and sunset, a fire-goddess for a  mother-in-law, demonic adversaries, random assassins, and a basement full of insecurities to cope with. Add to that his daughter, the  fire-priestess/princes, a couple of lightly-deranged professional magicians, a whole city full of wizards, and enough squabbling princes to resemble a kindergarten argument.It’s enough to make a man want to just go home.Luckily for Eric, he has the world’s fastest pet rock, a smart-mouthed sword Firebrand, and Bronze, a horse that not only understands him, but likes him anyway.Nightlord: Shadows is the second book in Garon Whited’s Nightlord series.
