He came as a sacrifice but get claimed by Demon king. In a world ruled by men, those born with a stigma can bear children and are feared, worshipped or used. To end a brutal war with demons, a boy with a stigma is offered as a "sacrifice" to the Demon King.
But instead of death, he finds chains of silk, eyes of fire. And a throne waiting for someone like him. For decades, demons have scorched the land, leaving only ruin behind. In a desperate bid for peace, humanity offers the one thing the Demon King might desire- A stigmatic boy.
Caelum is chosen to be that sacrifice. Used since birth. But when he's brought before the Demon King, Vael, something unexpected happens. Vael doesn't kill him. He claims him.
As Caelum struggles to survive in a court of monsters, he begins to uncover twisted truths about the war, about his own fate. And about the terrifying king whose gaze lingers too long. What begins as a sacrifice may become a curse or a love that could shatter two worlds.
