~~IT IS A COLD DREAD THAT SETTLES UPON THE SOULS, THE REALIZATION THAT THE GREATEST SHADOWS ARE CAST NOT BY DEMONS, BUT BY THE DARKNESS OF OUR OWN POTENTIAL~~
"What happens when an outsider stumbles upon a secret that could unravel an empire? Rakira Cenwulf came from the fringes, an outsider drawn into the Lahorei Empire's gilded cage. She sought opportunity but instead unearthed a terrifying secret: Prince Adam Lucian, the seemingly flawless heir, harbors a demon within. Beauty is a curse; power, a precarious balance. Unbeknownst to Adam, who sees only a desirable newcomer, Rakira witnesses the sin in his touch, the nightmare in his blood as he battles a war raging within himself. For Prince Adam Lucian, they don't know the truth: beneath the flawless facade beats the heart of a demon. His touch is a sin, his desires a threat. Half-human, half-nightmare; and as the shadow of the crown looms, Adam must not only conquer his kingdom but also the war raging within himself. Can a creature born of shadow ever truly command the light, or will his provocative secret consume him and the empire?
I can see it... the one you hide."
