MARKED BY THE DEMON KING

"You summoned me, little librarian. Now you'll learn what it means to belong to a demon." Mireya Ashcroft's life is already in ruins. Betrayed by her fiancé who stole her research to advance his own career, abandoned by her family who chose her perfect sister over her, and framed for a crime that destroyed her reputation---she has nothing left but her job shelving books in Ashenvale's oldest occult library. On the blood moon, desperate to prove her stolen research was real, she performs what she believes is a harmless historical ritual. Instead, she tears open the veil and summons him. Azraeth, the Demon King. The destroyer of armies. The nightmare whispered about in celestial temples and witch covens alike. Imprisoned for five hundred years by angels who feared his power, he emerges from his prison with vengeance burning in his eyes and an ancient hunger that nothing can satisfy. Except the mark is now burned into Mireya's skin, binding her soul to his. And the binding wasn't random---it was prophecy. As angels descend to execute her for the forbidden summoning and witches hunt her to steal the demon's power, Mireya discovers three shattering truths: her "ordinary" life was a carefully constructed lie, the mark awakening something dangerous inside her that tastes like chaos and shadow, and Azraeth doesn't just need her to survive his weakened state---her blood is the key to breaking the curse that's slowly killing him. But accepting her dark power means embracing the monster inside her. And falling for the Demon King means becoming the villain in everyone else's story. The angels called her a mistake. Her family called her worthless. Her ex called her forgettable. The Demon King calls her his salvation---and his damnation.
