Grey Francis Releases King in Chains, Second Book in Into the Dark Woods Paranormal Romance Series

SAN DIEGO - Sept. 20, 2017 - PRLog -- Author Grey Francis announces the release of King in Chains (ISBN 978-1542770576 ), the second erotic paranormal romance novel in the Into the Dark Woods series featuring the vampire trio Cassandra Monteclaire, Killian Monteclaire, and Alastair St. Germaine.  A psychologically compelling and literary erotic novel, King in Chains reveals hidden secrets as a new enemy threatens all of Vampire Kind, one who offers the tormented Vampire King, Alastair, something his lovers, Cassie and Kilian, never could.

For two hundred years, vampires Alastair and Cassie have lived without their Master, Killian. Killian's return is cause for rejoicing – and nights of unquenchable, burning passion – but Alastair still harbors the fear that his True Mate will abandon them once again. Complicating matters, Killian still refuses to take his place as the rightful Vampire King, leaving Alastair to rule in his stead, rather than serving as the Arm of Power.

As Alastair struggles with his doubts, a new threat appears in London. An unknown Master Vampire stalks the streets, launching attacks on Alastair's warrior patrols. When this dark new presence makes a brutal attempt on the life of Alastair's son, war becomes a certainty. With Cassie and Killian away on important business, Alastair must lead this war alone. He faces a dangerous foe: a necromantic Master Vampire of intense power and uncertain motivations – and intimate ties to Alastair's past.

The second installment of Grey Francis's erotic Into the Dark Woods series, King in Chains continues the sensual tale of Alastair and his lovers – and threatens to rip their eternal passion to shreds.

"With the second novel, I was able to delve deeper into the psychology of the compelling but complex Alastair," said Francis. "As he struggles to resolve the scars of the past that still haunt him, he is confronted by a powerful and sadistic enemy, who threatens to destroy all those he loves and the realm he has built. I wanted to make King in Chains the story of a warrior's reawakening, as Alastair discovers how to truly love and trust again. He must confront his darkest memories and greatest truths and learn to accept his fate as King, while fighting for those he loves."

Grey Francis, a native of Los Angeles, graduated with BA in Journalism before setting off for the New York publishing world. She later relocated back to Los Angeles to work in the film industry. She eventually put her fascination with the paranormal to work as a screenwriter, but it wasn't until the birth of her series, Into the Dark Woods, that she found her voice as an erotic writer and novelist. Her first book, Bound to a Vampire was published in January 2015 and the sequel, King in Chains, was released in September 2017.  Francis is currently hard at work on her third book in the series, The Shapeshifter's Heart. When she isn't writing, Francis is a busy full-time mother of two wonderful kids.
