Batman defends Gotham City from a host of evil villains.

Destined to be together. Kay of Isca knows Charles St. John is his fated soul mate, but between battle, duty, and saving the world, staying in the same reality, never mind the same bed, is proving a bit more of a challenge than either stubborn man will admit. The malicious armies of Morgan le Fay are gathering, and the chance that one of their friends has already been lost to evil is a real possibility too terrifying to contemplate. Nothing is ever as it seems, but unless Kay can unravel the vile plans centuries in the making, they won't just die before they get a chance to love. They'll die before they get a chance to live.

The DCU’s darkest secrets are explored while two titans clash! The heroes search for a way to defeat the Darkest Knight through the universe’s past, while Superboy Prime faces down the demonic Batman!

Batman. Always. Wins. This irrevocable truth resonates to the very heart of Perpetua’s battle with the Batman Who Laughs…and when her ally reveals his absolute nature, she will upend this mantra and destroy the last planet. His planet. But that’s not enough…and the mother of all creation must wonder, if power lies in destruction, why would she ever stop? But that’s the thing about truth…when it turns to fact, there’s no disputing its godlike reverence…and so enters the Darkest Knight. Featuring a backup story that spins out of the cliffhanger from Dark Nights: Death Metal Multiverse’s End #1.

REVIEW: "There just doesn't seem to be a bottom to James' imagination. DJ Slaughter continues to be a character you can relate to, and one you hope really exists out there on the front lines keeping us safe. Book 5 was impressive. He continues to be one of my favorite authors." Shortly after the inauguration of a new President, there's an attack on the White House. Another country has crossed the line thinking they wouldn't be caught. The US intelligence services are good at their job, however. The evidence is clear and the war drums are beating. There's just one problem. The President doesn't believe them. He's suspicious that the United States is being mislead and lured into conflict. He quietly enlists DJ and his team to run their own investigation. What the off the books team discovers is a conspiracy that no one could suspect. With no help or support, cut off from communications, DJ must not only unravel the mystery, but stop the threat and drag the US away from the brink of World War 3. BOOK REVIEW: "Slaughter continues to live up to its name. This had a few more twists and turns than normal. I was surprised right from the very first chapter. Fast-paced and thrilling. Loved it." BOOK REVIEW: "I love how the Slaughter universe keeps expanding and how characters from old find a way to slip back into the mix. The ending of this book was surprising, and I liked how James clued us into the future of the series. Really good stuff." BOOK REVIEW: "The development of the characters continue with each new book. Their dynamic becomes even more entertaining as their relationships grow and change. Just like real life. As always, Abbi continues to be a fan favorite for me. I like how James has created a list of characters that we can enjoy outside of DJ Slaughter. I am now totally caught up in this world. Would love to see Netflix or some other streaming service pick this up and make each book into a season. They would make a fortune. The only question is, what actor would play DJ...."
