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 words hung in the air like a death sentence.

Evelyne's breath caught in her throat. The humans attacked? Her mind reeled, struggling to process the messenger's announcement. This wasn't supposed to happen. The pact was supposed to prevent war.

Azrael's expression darkened, his golden eyes narrowing. "Explain."

The messenger, still breathless, bowed quickly. "A battalion of Solmere knights crossed into the Underworld's borderlands. They torched villages and slaughtered our people before vanishing into the night."

A cold silence gripped the chamber.

Evelyne's hands clenched into fists. "That doesn't make sense," she said, her voice sharp. "My father agreed to the pact. He wouldn't break it."

Sareth chuckled, leaning back in his seat. "Wouldn't he?"

She shot him a glare, but doubt flickered in her mind. She wanted to believe King Aldric was an honorable man, but what if she had been wrong?
