A Demon's Plaything
A short story.
Previously Released in Love Potion Anthology.
Lilith has spent her life in the ruins of her mother’s court that the Horde destroyed. Summoned to her father’s court, her entire world is turned upside down. Her father has offered her to the Horde to pay the tithe owed to them, and she’d rather die before bowing to the Horde, but if she intends to keep her secrets, she will kneel to the murderous Horde who destroyed her kingdom, and left it in ruins.
Asrian agreed to take one for the team, to marry one of the elusive, wanted brides of the lesser courts. He expected a spoiled, pampered princess, and anything other than what he finds waiting for him in the Shadow Court.

Amelia Hutchins
Amelia Hutchins doesn’t just write fantasy—she builds dark, intoxicating worlds where passion and danger intertwine, pulling readers into realms that refuse to let go. Known for her fearless storytelling and unapologetically fierce heroines, she has carved a place in the fantasy romance genre, where the lines between love and power blur in the most tantalizing ways.
Long before her books became must-reads for fans of steamy, high-stakes fantasy, Hutchins was an avid reader who devoured anything that transported her beyond the ordinary. That love for escapism evolved into an obsession with crafting stories where magic isn’t just a tool—it’s a force of nature, wild and untamed, much like the characters who wield it. With each novel, she strips away convention, delivering heroines who fight just as hard as they love, and alpha males who are as dangerous as they are irresistible.
