The Devil Luce: A Shadow Kingdom Story

by Samuel Morningstar

Luce believed all his problems were over after the first successful gallery showing of his paintings. He could hide in the art world, where his blue skin could be mistaken for the work of a tattoo gun, his ram horns considered a surgical enhancement.

But someone out there knows the truth and they will stop at nothing to herd Luce back to his tribe’s destroyed sanctuary. Secrets lay buried there, some thousands of years old that Luce’s enemies are desperate to possess.

In the mystical, galaxy-spanning universe of Shadow Kingdom, “The Devil Luce” focuses on an unlikely hero trapped on a world where his people have been relegated to status of mythological demons. Samuel Morningstar is the author of eight novels including the Dirk Garrick Occult Detective and Shadow Kingdom series. He is the owner of Erebus Publishing and a contributor to the Ghostwood Books anthology, Cthulhu Lies Dreaming.

Reviews

[R.K. Syrus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Strong narrative, while being expressively visual and wrapping a devious mystery. It's like the Watchmen universe in prose. I will be watching out for Devil Luce cosplayers at comic conventions from now on!
