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

The sound of leaves and sticks crunching beneath her made Lilith open her eyes. At first, her vision was blurry, but after rubbing them with the back of her hand, she could see more clearly—and what she saw sent a wave of shock through her.

She was in the middle of nowhere, dressed in a knee-length white dress, now stained with blood and dirt.

She remembered being in the cave with the others, preparing to perform magic on the prince. Then everything went dark. And now... this.

Lilith looked down to find herself standing in a muddy, murky pool of water, thick with squirming worms moving around her ankles. Panic flared in her chest as she jumped out of the water, frantically kicking and shaking her legs to get them off.

She quickly inspected herself, making sure the slimy creatures were gone. A sigh of relief escaped her lips.

How Pathetic
