The Demon King's Bride

"She threw rocks at him in her dreams. Now he’s claimed her before an entire kingdom."

Lilith was perfectly content chasing stubborn cows, brewing yarrow tea, and living barefoot in the forgotten valley of Willowmere. That is, until royal guards hauled her to the golden capital of Solas and informed her she was the hidden firstborn daughter of a dying dynasty. Her welcome? A stepmother who wants her dead, a father who views her as a political liability, and an ancient treaty demanding a royal daughter be handed over to the Shadow Realm. The court spent years grooming her flawless half-sister to be the sacrifice. But when the skies bleed crimson and the immortal Demon King rides into the capital at the head of a terrifying shadow army, he bypasses the polished court jewel and points directly to the wild girl with dirt on her boots: “I choose the firstborn.” The real shock? Kael Draven isn’t the hideous monster of human nightmares. He’s the infuriating, devastatingly handsome phantom who has been invading Lilith’s dreams for years, trading insults and calling her his little wildflower. Behind Kael’s teasing arrogance lies a four-century-old burden, an ancient childhood tether, and a realm of ethereal starlight far more beautiful than the poisoned human court. But as royal betrayals fester and a primordial void wakes beneath the human throne, Lilith and Kael must learn to trust the magic humming between their souls. He commands the eternal night. She commands the living roots of the forest. And together, they’re about to prove that the prophecy never required an obedient bride, it demanded a queen.
