To prevent an all-out war between humans and demons, Princess Evelyne of Solmere is forced to marry Demon King Azrael, the ruthless ruler of the Underworld. Their union is meant to bring peace, but instead, it sparks a battle of wills. Evelyne despises him for his cruelty, while Azrael sees her as a mere pawn.

But as dark secrets unravel, she realizes that the true enemy lurks in the shadows—someone who wants both the human and demon realms to burn. Caught between betrayal and forbidden passion, Evelyne must decide: Will she fight against the Demon King or stand by his side to save their world?

Love and war have never been more dangerous

The Forbidden Pact: Loving the Demon King

The ride back to the Underworld was silent.

Evelyne sat rigidly atop her black stallion, her thoughts tangled like a storm she couldn't quiet. The weight of the god's words still pressed against her ribs.

She gritted her teeth. The pact was never about stopping a war. It was about her.

The truth felt like a betrayal carved into her bones.

Azrael rode beside her, his presence steady and unshaken. Unlike her, he seemed unaffected by what had just transpired. But she knew better.

His silence wasn't ignorance. It was calculation.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. "You knew, didn't you?"

Azrael didn't turn to her. "Knew what?"

Evelyne clenched her jaw. "That I was… part of something bigger. That this was never just about marriage."

Azrael's golden eyes flicked toward her, unreadable. "I suspected."

Her fingers tightened around the reins. "And you never thought to tell me?"
