    16-year-old Nikki has a pretty good life. She’s friends with the most popular girl in school, has guys flocking
    around her, and is well liked by most students.

    Things take an interesting turn in her life, however, when on her 16th birthday a guy named Michael shows up and
    tells her that her long-lost father is the Demon King of the Shadowlands.

    She thinks the guy is a wacko until mysterious people show up calling her “princess” and trying to kill her. When
    she finally decides to give the guy a chance, she discovers that her father is suspiciously ill, other inhabitants of the
    Shadowlands are getting restless, her demonic powers are starting to manifest, and, to make matters worse, if her
    father dies, she’ll be stuck as ruler of the Shadowlands forever.

    Will Nikki find a way out of her predicament? What’s really wrong with her father? Will she live to see her next
    birthday?
