The Ties that Bind Them

“I pledge myself to you. Until the darkness kills the light, until the heavens cease to burn, I will be yours…”

That was the promise she made in life. Now Lillia Sparre is dead, those words have become a chilling curse. War is raging in the underworld. Her soul is forfeit. And if she wants to outrun her fate, she must trust a monster more devious than the one who hunts her.

In a mansion atop the hill dwells Sitri, a cold-hearted demon Prince who deals in secrets and subservience. He knows an enigma when he sees one.

The magic seal Lillia wears, and her mountain of secrets, mark her as his enemy’s property. Sitri simply must have her. He will become her shield, and her warden, if that’s what it takes to keep his crown.

He doesn’t see her resolve. She spent her whole life breaking chains, and his are no different. She would dare to lie to the Prince of Lies himself, and cast Hell’s hierarchy into chaos, if that’s what it takes to escape.

But when Lillia’s past creeps in to claim her, she finds her back against the wall. The Prince she despises is all that remains between her and the demon who owns her soul, and Sitri’s facing dangers of his own. Surrounded by enemies and uncertain of their confidants, there’s only one place left to turn; each other.

The boundaries between truth and lies, enemies and allies, begin to blur. If Lillia wants to keep her soul, she must make a dangerous choice.

Allow the Prince to claim her as his own…

Or become his downfall incarnate.
