      GENA SHOWALTER’S

      LORDS OF THE UNDERWORLD

       The Darkest Night

      “A fascinating premise, a sexy hero and non-stop action, The Darkest Night is Showalter at her finest, and a fabulous start to an imaginative new series.”

      —New York Times bestselling author

      Karen Marie Moning

      “Dark and tormented doesn’t begin to describe these cursed warriors called the Lords of the Underworld. Showalter has created characters desperately fighting to retain a semblance of humanity, which means the heroines are in for a rough ride. This is darkly satisfying and passionately thrilling stuff.”

      —Romantic Times BOOKreviews, 4 stars

      “Amazing! Stupendous! Extraordinary! Gena Showalter has done it again. The Darkest Night is the fabulous start of an edgy, thrilling series…”

      “Not to be missed…the hottest new paranormal series.”

      —Night Owl Romance

       The Darkest Kiss

      “In this new chapter the Lords of the Underworld engage in a deadly dance. Anya is a fascinating blend of spunk, arrogance and vulnerability—a perfect match for the tormented Lucien.”

      —Romantic Times BOOKreviews, 4½ stars

      “Talk about one dark read…If there is one book you must read this year, pick up The Darkest Kiss…a Gena Showalter book is the best of the best.”

      —Romance Junkies

       The Darkest Pleasure

      “Showalter’s darkly dangerous Lords of the Underworld trilogy, with its tortured characters, comes to a very satisfactory conclusion…[her] compelling universe contains the possibility of more stories to be told.”

      —Romantic Times BOOKreviews, 4 stars

      “Of all the books in this series, this is the most moving and compelling. The concluding chapters will simply stun you with the drama of them…You will not be sorry if you add this to your collection.”

      —Mists and Stars

       The Darkest Whisper

      “If you like your paranormal dark and passionately flavoured, this is the series for you.”

      —Romantic Times BOOKreviews, 4 stars

      This one is for Max, my demon—which makes me his angel. Of course. And now that it’s been printed, it can’t be denied. Max = demon. Gena = angel.

      This one is also for Jill Monroe, but don’t tell her I said so.

      Acknowledgements:

      I want to thank all the wonderful people at Harlequin for the continued support and encouragement. I am very blessed to work with you!

      Lords of the Underworld

      In a remote fortress in Budapest, six immortal warriors—each more dangerously seductive than the last—are bound by an ancient curse none has been able to break. When a powerful enemy returns, they will travel the world in search of a sacred relic of the gods—one that threatens to destroy them all.
