Legacies were made to be rewritten.
Assassin Hawes Madigan wants to do right—by his family, his organization, his city, and the man he’s falling for, ATF agent Christopher Perri. But Hawes’s rules are being challenged by someone willing to kill for the old ways. To save his soul and his empire, Hawes must make an impossible decision: fight from the outside or bend the knee to win back his throne from within.
Chris is used to being the inside man, the one undercover. Now, he’s on the outside marshaling forces in support of the man and the ring of assassins he was supposed to take down. His mission shifted when he found something that’s been missing for ten long years—a home, with Hawes.
As Hawes and Chris make a dangerous play for control, the lines between allies and traitors blur. Trusting the wrong person could destroy the legacy Hawes envisions for the Madigans. But not trusting anyone, or each other, could mean lights out on their love and lives forever.
The King and King Slayer fight together in this thrilling conclusion to the Fog City Trilogy!

Veronica – ☆☆☆☆☆
A New Empire is action packed and full of tension. I kept having to remind myself to breathe because I was holding my breath all the time. I raced through the story, desperate to find out what was going to happen and how Hawes and Chris were going to get their happily ever after.
This is one of those book series that would make a great movie or TV show. I know rather than re-reading the books in this series, I’ll buy the audiobooks and listen to them over and over again.
The final instalment in the Fog City trilogy was exciting, exhilarating, incredibly sexy, and over far too quickly. Thankfully there will be spins-offs, which I hope means we will get stories for both Holt and Amelia. A New Empire is another outstanding book from Reyne.
Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the concluding book of the trilogy. And my advice... read them all in one go! I say this because these are so full of twists and turns, and dramatic cliffhangers, that unless it is all fresh in your mind, it is quite a challenge to remember all the loyalties or betrayals. That said, this book manages to throw a lot of other spanners into the works – to say the least. Nothing is as it seems, and yet everything is obvious!
At the heart of these books is the romance between Hawes (the King of the empire) and Chris aka Dante (undercover agent). From the beginning, their attraction to each other has been the most dangerous thing, but also gave them both a reason to carry on. Even when their secrets come out, their love for each other is enough to offer trust and a second chance. But the journey is certainly not an easy one!
This is a complex mafia-type story, with more baddies, more hacking, more eavesdropping, and more violence than you would expect. But the interactions between law & order and absolute evil are many; complicated by mixed intentions, divided loyalties, and inevitably power through arms and money. Be ready for the ride of your life.
As I said at the beginning, you will find it easier to keep up with the action if you read all three in one go. They are definitely worth the time, and I loved how everything worked out across the many strands. As you peel away the layers of deceit, it seems like they grow back, but in the end, we are left with a full and satisfying story. Thank you, Layla Reyne.
