About this listen

"Narrator Eric Mok makes this wonderfully inventive and diverse fantasy eminently accessible... Mok's Kai is appealing and relatable--he sounds simultaneously young and resigned, weary of death and pain and betrayal and yet still hopeful for something better. Listeners will hope we get more of this fascinating world."- AudioFile

From the breakout SFF superstar author of Murderbot comes a remarkable story of power and friendship, of trust and betrayal, and of the families we choose.


"I didn't know you were a... demon."
"You idiot. I'm the demon."
Kai's having a long day in Martha Wells' WITCH KING....

After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well.

But why was Kai imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence?

Kai will need to pull his allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these questions.

He’s not going to like the answers.

WITCH KING is Martha Wells’s first new fantasy in over a decade, drawing together her signature ability to create characters we adore and identify with, alongside breathtaking action and adventure, and the wit and charm we’ve come to expect from one of the leading writers of her generation.

Editorial Review

A demonically enjoyable fantasy
What do a demon, a witch, a street urchin, an immortal, and a prince-heir have in common? They’ve all won me over as new favorite characters. Murderbot Diaries author Martha Wells has published her first fantasy novel in a decade with Witch King—and what a triumphant return it is. Though this is a much different story, Murderbot fans will delight in the glimpses of Wells’ wry wit and uncanny ability to balance white-knuckle tension with moments of snort-out-loud humor and surprising heart. Eric Mok makes his narration debut in this novel, and his performance is a perfect match to Wells’ clever writing. I sincerely hope we hear more from him soon. —Sam D., Audible Editor
