Catching a demon’s eye is ill-advised.

​

Catching feelings for a demon? Calamitous.​

​

When Ero enters a cave with a ragged band of adventurers, she seeks only to find the elusive centuries-old book a Temple Mother claimed would help her unravel the mystery of her lineage. Instead, she emerges as the party’s sole survivor…wearing a demon’s compulsion collar to boot.

​

Bůk left Hell in disgrace when a soft bard evaded his torment. Now to escape the irritations of the living plane and return to Hell several valuable souls richer, he must fulfill the contract he signed with Lord Austvix, one of the six warlords grasping for ultimate control of the land. But to do so, he’ll need Ero’s help solving a particularly thorny puzzle. 

​

Ero knows better than to trust a demon. Bůk knows better than to lust after a bard. But desires, like the fates, have a sense of humor. By the time Ero discovers the truth about herself… By the time Bůk finds the answer to his riddles… their destinies may already be inextricably intertwined.
