When Brother Diaz is summoned to the Sacred City, he's expecting a promotion, a commendation, something wonderful from the Pope. Instead she assigns him to a group of prisoners who must escort a street urchin to a faraway land to reclaim the throne that is apparently rightfully hers. Along the way, the group — which includes a snobbish sorcerer, an aloof vampire, a lusty and forgetful werewolf, and a sometimes-invisible elf — must fight off the newfound queen's angry cousins, who are dead set on stopping her from ascending the throne.
Full of action, snarky humor, and a surprising amount of heart, The Devils is an excellent irreverent bit of fantasy fun, perfect for fans of Kings of the Wyld and The Blacktongue Thief. It can get a bit repetitive at times, but still, I highly recommend this one!
