Lilith was born with forbidden magic, a power feared and condemned in her village. She hid it for years, but when her secret is exposed, she is betrayed by her family and sentenced to burn. Just as the flames rise, Prince Hades of Valyron known as the "Shadow of Death" saves her, driven by curiosity.  

Hades, cursed for over three centuries, hides his torment behind cruelty. As Lilith sees past his darkness and vows to help him break the curse, their bond deepens into something undeniable. But in a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, will her light free him, or will their love lead to their destruction?

EXCERPT

Lilith barely breathed as Hades emerged from the shadows of her chamber, his presence wrapping around her like night itself. She should move. She should run. But she didn’t want to. He reached for her, his fingers trailing along her bottom lip—slow, deliberate. She shivered, not from fear, but from him.

Lilith swallowed, her pulse a traitorous drumbeat. “Please… let me touch you, Hades.”

A ghost of a smile tugged at his lips, but there was no humor in it. “Dangerous little thing.” His thumb lingered at the corner of her mouth, as if memorizing its shape. He whispered, tilting her chin up as his lips hovered near hers—so close she could feel his breath.

“You will destroy me, little witch,” he murmured, his voice thick with something raw. “And yet… I can’t let you go.” His gaze burned into hers as he added, “I would let you drag me to hell if that’s what you desired.”

The Cursed Demon Prince

Lilith stood frozen in shock, her wide eyes locked on the strange creature before her as she struggled to process what she was seeing.

"I see you've finally met Grim," came Hades' voice.

Lilith turned swiftly to find him emerging from the bath room, wearing loose trousers and a robe. A towel hung around his neck, and his damp hair clung to his forehead, evidence that he had just finished bathing.

"She's a crazy woman, Master. She almost killed me," Grim muttered, rubbing the spot where Lilith had struck him with the broom.

"You look fine to me," Hades replied dismissively as he strode lazily toward his dresser. Then, turning his attention to Lilith, he added, "You should continue cleaning. Grim doesn't bite."
