In the kingdom of Vishendor, where demons and human co-exist, Ariel— the only human-born child of a human mother and demon father . Among her demon siblings, her desire to become a warrior is seen as a foolish dream, a waste of time and blood. Fragile. Mortal. Forgettable.
But Ariel is not meant to remain in the shadows she knows there's more to her than they see — a fire that refuses to be extinguished.
King Simon of Vishendor: ruthless, calculating, and untouchably charming. Feared across the realms for his cold heart and iron rule, he is searching for one thing — his mate.Not for love,but for power, stability and control.when fate guides him to Ariel,what he finds is the opposite of everything he expected;A girl with no noble blood ,no demonic prestige and no intention of being anyone's Queen.
When Simon lays eyes on Ariel, something unexpected stirs. She is not the demon queen his people imagined and yet he can't let her go.
Torn between the life she's always dreamed of and the crown she never asked for, Ariel must choose: will she forge her path with steel and defiance — or surrender to the dark pull of a love that could either liberate her… or chain her forever?
