Bookish dreamer Arthur Oakes is a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters and beautiful buildings.
But his idyll - and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot - is shattered when local drug dealers force him into a terrible crime: stealing rare and valuable books from the exceptional college library.
Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for help: the wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren; brave, beautiful Allison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen. Together they dream up an impossible, fantastical scheme that they scarcely imagine will work: to summon the fabled dragon King Sorrow to kill those tormenting Arthur.
But the six stumble backwards into a deadly bargain - they soon learn they must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow each year or one of them will become his next victim. Unleashing consequences they can neither predict nor control, this promise will, over the course of four decades, shape and endanger their lives in ways they could never expect.

PRAISE FOR SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER JOE HILL
With King Sorrow, Joe Hill gloriously resurrects the doorstop horror blockbuster for a startling new century (ALAN MOORE)
King Sorrow riddles and refracts the cultural and historical horrors of our last forty years through the eyes of a badass dragon and a group of close friends who know one another too well. It's a soaring epic and painfully intimate. It's humane and hideous. You won't be able to stop burning through the pages. (PAUL TREMBLAY)
A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon's, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it (RUTH WARE)
A monster of a book, as gripping and wickedly insidious as the title character. Not a page is wasted along its scaly length, from human villainy to diabolical plots, government folly to the desperate search for redemption. A vast, brimstoned, relentless zinger. (NICK HARKAWAY)
Epic! KING SORROW is Hill's best and most ambitious work to date. Those Game of Thrones dragons are mere geckos next to Hill's monster. (LINWOOD BARCLAY)
Original and gripping, a page-turner. (GEORGE R. R, MARTIN)
Clever, gripping and packs a hell of a punch (JOANNE HARRIS)
A fantastically compelling read (OBSERVER)
Joe Hill's best novel yet! Morphing from an evil fairy tale to all-out epic horror thriller, King Sorrow is big, meaty and irresistible. This book is both a wild ride and a skilled character study in power, corruption and consequences. You'll never look at dragons the same way again-and you'll hope no dragon ever glances your way. (TANANARIVE DUE)
When they talk about "natural born storytellers," it's Joe Hill they're talking about. (JOHN SCALZI)
KING SORROW is a wise, furious, intricate puzzle-box of a novel - part horror, part fantasy, and shot through with tenderness and humor and grace. Joe Hill has created something wholly, entirely unique here. 'Dazzling' is an understatement. It is an absolute damn joy to read. (KEITH ROSSON)
Joe Hill's best novel yet! Morphing from an evil fairy tale to all-out epic horror thriller, King Sorrow is big, meaty, and irresistible. This book is both a wild ride and a skilled character study in power, corruption, and consequences. (TANANARIVE DUE)
King Sorrow is an epic that will linger with you long after the last page is turned, a timeless tale that's also a haunting time capsule. Joe Hill somehow delivers it all, from the terrifying to the hilarious to the heartbreaking. A relentless and thoughtful tour de force, King Sorrow proves Joe Hill is one of the great storytellers of our generation. (MICHAEL KORYTA)
