She opens a forbidden grimoire to stop the curse eating her magic- and wakes the Devil King the world buried in blood and stone.

Archivist-seer Elaria Wynne never meant to break the last seal on Vaeric Thorne, the Cursed King of the Abyss. But the sigil branded into her skin answers his name, and his first breath in centuries snaps every quiet rule she lives by. The Order calls him monster. The Celestials are already hunting. And Vaeric? He kneels to no one-least of all fate.

Bound by a mark that burns hotter than fear, Elaria is thrust into a war of rewritten histories and shattered wards, where prophecy says a mortal heart can anchor a devil's power-or doom the realm. Vaeric is wrath, longing, and dangerous grace, a king who would raze heaven to reclaim what was stolen. He wants her choice, not her submission. He'll burn for it if he must.

As temples crack and old magic wakes, Elaria must decide: sever the bond and watch him fall, or claim a darkness that promises ruin and salvation in the same kiss. High heat, sharp claws, and a love fierce enough to scandalize the gods-this is a decadent, fated-mates devil romance where consent is sacred, the stakes are apocalyptic, and the abyss looks back...and wants her.
