I’ve summoned a shadow king from another realm.
In my defence, he burned my flat down, destroyed my 90s emo record collection, and tried to use me as bait to get my best friend killed. He had it coming.
What I did not expect was for him to be so insufferably, unreasonably, categorically attractive. Or for the binding to work quite so well. He's trapped in the human world until I decide to let him go.
I'm not in a hurry.
His name is Dis. As in discord, disillusion, dismay, disaster.
I call him Disney. He hates it.
He calls me Little Witch. I don’t entirely hate it.
He is the most dangerous thing I have ever summoned. He was the weapon that carried out a coup in the Shadow Realm. He has powers that make grown shadow beings step carefully around him. He is ancient and controlled and furious about his current situation in ways he is too dignified to fully express.
He's also stuck in my flat above a coffee shop in Bristol until further notice.
This is either the worst idea I have ever had or the best.
Probably both.
Shadow King is the second book in the Shadow Men series. It can be read as a standalone, but readers of Shadow Prince will already know exactly why Felix planned this.
Coming July 2026

Fixing up the Murder House is the last thing I want to do.
But times are hard, and to be honest, I was curious about who would have bought the old place. I assumed someone out of town who didn’t know the history.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
When I pulled up outside the ramshackle house in the woods, there was a cute emo boy sitting on the porch stairs waiting for me.
At first I was annoyed, thinking he was some rich kid buying the house to be edgy.
Then I recognized him.
Seth Leighton, the boy who escaped the murder house. The only one who ever did. Older now, but definitely him.
Why the hell does he want to live in the house his abductor imprisoned him in?
He looks me dead in the eye and says he can’t leave his friends. The boys who didn’t escape.
Ghosts.
I shouldn’t just walk away, I should run. I definitely should not spend the summer fixing up the Murder House with a deeply damaged young man who thinks he sees ghosts.
So why am I telling him I can start on Monday?

He burned a world for me, but I don’t remember him.
He was the villain. I was the hero. Our love changed a world.
He left the dark and stepped into the light to be by my side.
But then the only way to save me was to surrender and return to his father, and join him in destroying our realm. A bargain in exchange for the power to send my soul to Earth.
I feel like an ordinary human man. Even a little on the dull side. I don’t remember another life.
Yet I’ve always felt something was missing. An, ‘Is this it?’ opinion of modern life. A strange yearning for a home that wasn’t where I grew up. A feeling of never really belonging or fitting in.
None of that means this devastatingly handsome man is speaking the truth.
Even though it feels as if he has always been here, watching me from the shadows. My dark guardian angel. My silent companion.
This is all just a trick, it has to be.
He is lost. I am lonely. This is our only story.
