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

Evelyne didn't waste a second. As soon as Azrael gave her the deadline, she turned on her heel and hurried down the corridors of the fortress, her mind racing. She needed to contact Solmere—needed to know the truth before war became inevitable.

Lyria caught up to her within moments, her violet eyes sharp with concern. "You have a plan?"

"Not yet," Evelyne admitted. "But I need to get a message to my father."

Lyria hesitated before nodding. "There's a way."

Evelyne stopped, gripping Lyria's arm. "How?"

"The Underworld has many secrets, Princess. Some of them... are ancient." Lyria glanced around, then lowered her voice. "There's an artifact—an enchanted mirror deep within the fortress. It's rarely used, but it allows communication between realms. If your father is alive and willing to listen, it might be your only chance."

Hope flared in Evelyne's chest. "Take me to it."
