About this ebook

Breaking up is hard to do . . . especially if you’re Kali, an ancient Hindu goddess with unfinished business and a desire to rule the world through the immutable powers of her old boyfriend, Shiva the Destroyer. She’s found the perfect vassal, a woman named Dawn Summens, who bounced back from the dead with everything intact except her sanity. Now she’s the high priestess of a wild new cult called “Remo” on the voodoo-friendly island of Haiti, where all hell is breaking loose.

Before Remo can sort out sex-crazed cultists from the purely evil deities, he’s lured into the lair of the lovely Dawn, losing a battle with self-control that could be the beginning of the end. Chiun, too, is losing her own battle against an old enemy with the power to challenge, perhaps even defeat, Sinanju. Can anything stop Remo from becoming the Destroyer of old, with all the power – channelled through his ancient lover, Kali – to destroy the world?

Breathlessly action-packed and boasting a winning combination of thrills, humour and mysticism, the Destroyer is one of the bestselling series of all time.
