About this book

Betrayal stings, but for Rowan, it is merely the catalyst for an epic reckoning. After being callously exiled from the City of Thorns by the demon king Orion, she returns not as a castaway, but as a contender. To prevent Orion from slaughtering the mortal realm, she must challenge him for his crown through a series of grueling, divine trials. It is a high-stakes game of power where the cost of failure is global extinction.

This gripping conclusion to The Demon Queen Trials masterfully blends intense urban fantasy with the dark, atmospheric allure of hell-realms. As Rowan navigates a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and supernatural peril, she finds her greatest challenge isn't just the trials themselves, but her own wavering heart. Orion is as dangerous as he is seductive, and his relentless charm threatens to undermine her mission at every turn.

Fans of paranormal romance will be swept away by this masterful finale. C.N. Crawford weaves a tapestry of humor, mystery, and heart-wrenching emotion that keeps readers hooked from the first page. If you are searching for a story where the chemistry is electric and the stakes are life-or-death, this series is your next obsession. Prepare to be captivated until the very end.

The remarkable conclusion

June 28, 2023

\"Rowan terrified me every bit as much as Mortana did. Mortana had been a sadist with my life in her hands. Rowan, on the other hand, has my heart in her hands.\" \"If you've never had your hair washed by somebody while you luxuriate in a hot bath, I highly recommend it, even if you can't find a -cute- incubus to do the job.\" \"Somewhere, there's another world where you and I met before my soul died in the dungeon.\" \"\"I am Chaos, the eater of worlds\" I heard myself whisper. \"I was the...

A Solid 3 Star Trilogy Was an easy and pretty quick read. Nothing too complicated. I liked the hero most of the time. He was loyal, possessive, and could be really sweet at times. I wish he lived up to his reputation as this big, scary, demon dude, but he was definitely not that. Realistic though seeing as he was in a prison for years. I also liked the heroine, maybe like half the time. She wasn't whiney, she went with the flow, and just overall a decent heroine. But on the flip side, nothing...

a good ending but feels incomplete

I really enjoyed the book. The slow burn until Rowan and Orion finally came together about killed me, but in a good way. But the story feels incomplete. I feel like there’s still more to be told. For the trials I was hoping they would be more complex, but all the solutions seemed too simplistic and over so quickly, I wondered what the big fuss was all about. I’m hoping for a spin-off to see what happens next. Either way, The Demon Queen Trials series is the best series by CN Crawford I’ve read...
