Black Fortune: A Demon Slayer Fantasy Adventure Novel (Demon in Exile Book 5)

Ara Storm has many names. As Vigil Storm, he’s already a legend among demon-hunters, wielding the very darkness he fights against. As Wind Catcher, he holds standing among the royal court in the eastern realm of Fugaku. As the Scarred Man, he controls one of the Gray Houses that dominate the continent’s criminal underworld.

Where the Scarred Man is considered a myth, Yan Magata is a legend—an assassin bound to a death-demon and backed by the most powerful Gray House in Fugaku. When he comes for Ara Storm’s sisters, the hunt leads straight into the heart of Maidenhall and the domain of House Storm. Politics and subterfuge give way to blade masters and one unstoppable hunter.

The rules of the Gray demand that Ara act. He heads east in a bid to thwart the dark deals of his enemies and finds something unexpected: Cressida, a young woman tortured and carved into the perfect weapon. As Yan Magata’s successor, she’s meant to inherit a fortune built on a thousand stolen souls.

As the pivotal fifth book in the Demon in Exile series, Black Fortune delivers heart-pounding action, complex characters, and found family heroism—perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, Brent Weeks, and Mark Lawrence.
