Kings Never Die

Return to the world of C. N. Phillips’ beloved The Last Kings series with a gritty, standalone title to complete the saga.

Sadie Thomas stands at the helm of The Last Kings organization, her authority forged through a lifetime of violence, loss, and unrelenting conflict. Throughout her reign, Sadie has witnessed horrors and heartbreak that few could ever imagine, bearing scars from tragedies that would shatter most. Yet, after surviving so much, nothing could prepare her for the most terrifying thing to ever happen to her… her wedding day. She never thought that someone like her would get her fairytale ending with the man of her dreams, nor did she think her life’s coin would finally land on heads. But the day that is supposed to be the best one of her life reminds her that there are two sides to every coin and fairy tales only happen in movies. Instead of joy, she is confronted with unimaginable violence as her closest friends and allies are murdered in cold blood, forcing Sadie to confront an enemy more formidable than any she has faced before: Zeus.

Zeus’s fixation with The Last Kings began as little more than curiosity, sparked by rumors of the organization’s extensive reach and influence. The more he learned, the more fascinated he became, recognizing their reputation for being both untouchable and unbeatable. But when he discovered that Sadie Thomas was the mastermind behind the operation, his interest sharpened into obsession. To Zeus, Sadie was a rare and precious find—he was a man drawn to the extraordinary, with a collector’s desire for unique treasures. Over time, his collection had grown to include many valuable artifacts, but the one thing he could never obtain was a living prize: Sadie herself. Driven by a relentless desire to possess her, Zeus will stop at nothing, even if it means destroying everyone Sadie loves in the process.
