Azima Rousseau, a demon hunter destined to save her world from the denizens of the Underworld, has to venture through the Seven Levels of Hell in order to face its Prince and close the rift between their worlds once and for all. ***** Ever since her eighteenth birthday, Azima Rousseau knew she would die battling the forces of Hell just as her mother had, and every other Rousseau before her. So when her destiny delivers her to Death's door, it is not the Devil who answers, but the Demon Prince Malecoda. Instead of ending her fated existence as his sworn enemy, he decides to bind her into a pact that challenges not only the intensity of her will to survive but also the integrity of her soul to persevere. Together they soon discover who the monsters truly are- Azima's own people. [[ 2021 WATTYS SHORTLIST ]] ---------- Cover designed by Stefanie Saw

Every year a man seeks out a tarot card reader, hoping for a different future.

Alakis knows what he is. He is the stain on his family's name. He is a worthless prince that shouldn't have survived his birth. He is his father's sacrifice to the tyrant Lucara, Queen of the Ashen Empire. He is her slave. He is an object of abuse for the other beaten down servants and slaves of the palace. He is the Queen's newest concubine, a rabbit that is tossed into a den of wolves. He is the burden the warrior Raja must bare. He is a thief who steals away the Queen's affections. He is the entertainment provided for the Queen's harem. He is a weak and worthless slave prince who must become whatever he is told to be. That's what he is. But who is he? And how will he discover that which truly defines him?
