Publisher's summary

Revenge, they say, is a dish best served bloody and twitching.

For Kellik, nothing matters so much as defeating his father and destroying his reign over Port Gloom.

But as powerful as Kellik has become, his father will surely crush him if he doesn't stay three steps ahead. Toward that end, he'll have to employ every ounce of cunning, break every rule, wrest ever advantage, and bring the very fury of the Hanged God down upon Port Gloom.

Burning with a furious desire to crush his opponents, Kellik will return with his gorgeous rogues' gallery of companions to attack the ancient city from all sides: Using politics, assassinations, betrayals, and outright warfare, he'll stop at nothing to ensure his father's downfall.

He's willing to risk it all. But is there a price to victory even he's not willing to pay?

Warning and minor spoilers: This is an 18+ audiobook intended for mature listeners. It contains graphic sex, medieval violence, and nudity.

good series

I enjoyed the entire series. I had thoughts it would be predictable but never expected the ending. when fighting foes more powerful the ending is never good.
I hate final battles where our loved mc gets luckier than wagon full of leprechauns. our mc was neither loved or lucky. thanks for a great story

Absolutely Tremendous

Mike Truk has entered the auto purchase realm.

The Shadow Rogue series continues to be most entertaining and enjoyable. The third installment, King of Shadows, is a must purchase for anyone who has read the first two. Books one, two, and three are a must purchase for everyone else.

The greatness of the characters, development and dialogue continues, and that’s all anyone contemplating this purchase needs to know.

GIVE ME A BOOK 4 & 5 PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

THIS BOOK IS LIKE IF THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO AND V FOR VENDETTA HAD A LOVE CHILD THAT WAS RAISED IN A ROMAN/JAPANESE HAREM FANTASY !!! Mike Truk you are the best thing since individually wrapped cheese you left me with at least six unanswered questions but somehow you did not leave this book on a cliffhanger. The sex scenes were amazingly well-written as usual and I have to say the story was obviously phenomenal by itself but I need more...... when will the Shadow Rogue meet the Lost River, can the shadow rogue meet the last River PLEASE SAY YES, how many syndicates are going to pop up trying to be the new family, does Kelliks father have a legitimate son or even worse daughter out there, and most importantly to me anyway can Pony please get laid by a City troll LMFAO ????????? I'M SORRY THERE'S GOT TO BE AT LEAST TWO MORE BOOKS.

Wow. Just wow...

Worth the listen. Though the plot twist was well... predictable, I enjoyed it all the way through. I just kinda wish it had more closure; especially between the main cast of the story.

Mike Truk does it again!

The Shadow Rogue series is one of the best, well written stories I've read! The 3rd installment is no exception, he really knows how to draw you in and attach you to the characters. If HBO doesn't pick this story up and make it a show, shame on them. I really hope he continues with a 4th. The voice actor did a superb job as well. Will most certainly be back for more from Mike.
