The mighty demon asks for a dear price in exchange for his aid, one Dianese has no choice but to accept. The emperor expects a life of suffering at the hands of the demon, but as their partnership evolves something more profound develops. A FULL-LENGTH novel presented in its entirety--not a series. Intense erotica with elements of bdsm. A fantasy realm more typical of anime than fairy tales. The well earned HEA comes after numerous twists and turns! The author's longest and most satisfying work to date. Fans of Yamila Abraham's Vanquished Series will love this book!
