About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Blind supernatural detective Jeremiah Hunt trades his freedom for forbidden magic—and discovers New Orleans under siege by an ancient death god and his army of soul-devouring creatures in this gritty urban fantasy thriller from New York Times bestseller Joseph Nassise.
Life as a fugitive isn't easy when you're wanted by the FBI for ritualistic murders you didn't commit. But when powerful witch Denise Clearwater begins having visions of New Orleans drowning in black magic and supernatural deaths, ghost hunter Hunt knows they have to investigate—even if it means walking straight into a trap.
What they find in the Big Easy is far worse than murder. The city is under assault by the Sorrows—creatures that feed on human souls, leaving their victims alive but empty. Bodies are piling up across the French Quarter and beyond, and local authorities are helpless against an enemy they can't see and don't believe exists.
But the Sorrows are just the vanguard. Behind them lurks the Ankou, an ancient Celtic death god bent on tearing open a gateway between the living world and the realm of the dead. If he succeeds, his spectral army will pour through into New Orleans—and from there, consume the world.
Hunt must navigate the city's dangerous supernatural underworld, from voodoo practitioners and the mysterious fae Sidhe to a decaying sorcerer who extracts terrible prices for his knowledge. Armed with his ability to see ghosts and commune with the dead, Hunt races to stop a dark ritual that will unleash apocalyptic evil.
But when Denise is caught in the crossfire and her soul is torn from her body, Hunt faces an impossible choice: let the woman he's come to care for die, or journey into the land of the dead itself to bring her back—knowing he may never return.
King of the Dead is a supernatural noir that blends detective fiction, horror, and dark fantasy into an explosive paranormal thriller.
