“A chiller” (The New York Times Book Review) and #1 New York Times bestseller about a writer’s horrific and haunting pseudonym that destroys everyone on the path leading to the man who created him. After thirteen years of international bestseller stardom with his works of violent crime fiction, author George Stark is officially declared dead—revealed by a national magazine to have been killed at the hands of the man who created him: the once well-regarded but now obscure writer Thad Beaumont. Thad’s even gone so far as to stage a mock burial of his wildly successful pseudonym, complete with tombstone and the epitaph “Not a Very Nice Guy.” Although on the surface, it seems that Thad can finally concentrate on his own novels, there’s a certain unease at the prospect of leaving George Stark behind. But that’s nothing compared to the horror about to descend upon Thad’s new life. There are the vicious, out-of-control nightmares, for starters. And how is he able to explain the fact that everyone connected to George Stark’s untimely demise is now meeting a brutal end of their own in a pattern of homicidal savagery…and why each blood-soaked crime scene has Thad’s fingerprints all over it? Thad Beaumont may have once believed that George Stark was running out of things to say, but he’s going to find out just how wrong he is…

It is highly recommended you enjoy Wild Card before diving into Dark King. Blurb contains spoilers. Rule #5: Don't allow distractions. They'll only break you. My sister is in the hands of a rival mafia family, and my only hope of getting her back is by making a wager. One that includes using the girl who's captured my attention as a buy-in for a tournament where women are used instead of poker chips. And I don't play poker. Not well enough to beat my enemy at least. Which means I need a new plan, and a new game. But I need Ace's trust too, and it's precarious at best. She doesn't understand my world. She doesn't know the things I've done or why my enemies call me the Dark King. But I can't be soft for her. Not when my sister's at risk--when Ace is at risk. I just hope I don't lose her when she finds out that I'm not her Prince Charming. I'm the Dark King.
