Dis, the ancient word for Hell, is a world parallel to our own, close enough for its inhabitants to pass back and forth from their realm into ours, collecting souls and tormenting believers. Charam is a handsome devil who can easily pass for human. It’s an ability that brings him both pleasure and punishment. He loves his partner, Raum, a minor member of Dis aristocracy, but sometimes he slips. He can’t seem to control himself and he strays. It’s what he does. And why not? Apart from the fact he is a demon, the human male form is just too deliciously tempting. When Raum discovers Charam’s infidelities, Charam vows to mend his ways, but it isn’t long before he's at it again. Ah, the delights of the human cock! The feel of a muscular body, the aroma of male pheromone, and the bittersweet taste of cum! When his infidelity is discovered a second time, there is no forgiveness. In a rage, Raum conjures up a unique punishment. No scarlet letter ‘A’ for Charam. Oh no. He has something much more beastly in mind. A lover humiliated is a dangerous thing, and Charam wants revenge. But his little plan goes too far. At first he doesn’t care what happens -- he is hurt and angry -- but a journey into the Wildlands soon changes that. Is it too late to rescue his beloved Raum? The matter may well be out of his hands.

Of Love and Punishment

Charam was not at a loss for rocks. He found one that looked more solid than the others and slammed it down on the chain but it barely nicked the metal. Again and again he tried until the rock cracked and split between his hands.


Another tremor sent more rocks to the floor, but try as he might, Charam could find none that would do more than carve bright silver lines into the metal. After each failure he found himself exploring further and further into the pit. There were many rocks that looked like they were up to the task, but he had tried similar specimens, and they had been useless. He needed something more substantial—something that would not crack and shatter under the pressure.
