help Pale Demon FAQ
Why does Rachel Morgan take a road trip in Pale Demon?
Rachel must reach San Francisco to face the witches' coven and challenge the shunning that has destroyed her legal standing. With air travel effectively unavailable to her, she heads west by car with Trent Kalamack and Jenks, with Ivy later joining the journey.
What is Trent Kalamack trying to accomplish during the trip?
Trent has his own secretive elven quest on the West Coast, so the journey is more than transportation to Rachel's hearing. Assassins pursuing him and his concealed objectives force Rachel to reconsider both his motives and their relationship.
Who or what is the pale demon in the title?
The title points to Ku'Sox, a dangerous demon who can operate under conditions that distinguish him from the demons Rachel already knows. His arrival expands the series' demon mythology and creates a threat that cannot be settled by Rachel's coven hearing alone.
Which Hollows books come immediately before and after Pale Demon?
Pale Demon is the ninth Hollows novel, following Black Magic Sanction. It is followed by A Perfect Blood, which continues the consequences of Rachel's changing supernatural identity and status.
