#16 Witch King by Martha Wells

[missingvolume]

 

Half of this story is told in flashbacks by Kai a demon living in the mortal world. Kia wakes to find his body trapped and someone trying to use his powers. After defeating the small group and moving into a new host body provided by the attackers, Kai frees a friend entombed with him and they both start a journey to find the rest of their band of friends. The rest of the book alternates with flashbacks of Kai’s first seasons on the mortal plane with distant mortal relations.  As the story unfolds in flashbacks his journey in the current time has him going back to where it all started so as the story unfolds you find out why he is going to an abandoned city to find the rest of his friends. A good self-contained story and there is so much room for development in this universe and yet there is no cliffhanger ending to have you demanding the next one ASAP.
