The story begins with a confrontation that sets the tone for everything that follows. "You completed the Consort Rite," the Demon Prince murmurs, his gaze dark and terrifyingly devoted as he looks down at her. "I have waited twenty years for you." She stares at the small, fluffy cat purring in her arms and realizes with dawning horror that stealing this creature has bound her to the most dangerous being in the realm. She only wanted a pet. The cat was adorable, abandoned, and clearly in need of a good home. She had no idea it was the Demon Prince's sacred familiar, or that touching it would trigger an ancient rite that marks the holder as his chosen consort. Now she is trapped in a demonic court where everyone addresses her as "Your Highness," assassins see her as a political target, and the villain himself looks at her with a devotion that is equal parts romantic and terrifying. The Demon Prince, who has spent two decades waiting for the consort promised by prophecy, is not willing to let her go. He is possessive, overprotective, and genuinely confused by her attempts to explain the misunderstanding. As she navigates the deadly politics of the demon realm, she discovers that the "villain" the world fears is, beneath the terrifying reputation, a lonely man who has been waiting for someone to choose him. The question is whether she can survive long enough to decide if choosing him is worth the danger.
