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

"Kathryn does not love the prince, and she never has," Grim said, his voice suddenly stern. "And I'm warning you, stay away from her. She's dangerous, and if you're not careful, she might drag you into serious trouble."

Lilith nodded after a moment of silence. "I'll watch out for her."

"Good." Grim stretched and hopped off the bed. "I'm heading back to the prince's chambers to get some sleep. We'll talk later. Have a wonderful day, Lilith."

With a mock bow and a flick of his tail, Grim strolled out of the room, shutting the door behind him with a tap of his foot.

Lilith lay back on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as a storm of thoughts swirled through her mind.

Holding up the edge of her dress, Kathryn made her way toward the waiting carriage. As she approached, the footman stepped forward and opened the door. She climbed in gracefully, settling comfortably onto the plush seat.
