Rune King's Daughter — Amelia Wilson; J.A. Cummings

Being King of the Draugr is shaping up to be more difficult than Erik anticipated.

Erik never thought fatherhood would be easy. Now that he knows he has a daughter, Mia, he wants to protect her from the Ulfen â€" wolf shifters - and the other vampires in Stockholm. Nika isn't so sure Mia needs protecting. Soon Erik and Nika will need to protect themselves, because old grudges die hard.

For Nika, life as Draugr Queen is a head-trip she's not quite ready for. She has a wedding to plan, more magic to learn, a truce to help broker, and the Dark Sisters' narcotic ring to break. Add in a surly soon-to-be stepdaughter, and she might just want to take Erik and leave it all behind, ruling be damned.

There's a lot in the air, and the pieces are moving. Who's really in charge of this life-sized chess board, and what will be the final gambit?
