there is a hell. - oliver sykes x denis stoff

After the war is lost, Oliver Sykes is alone with his horrific memories, battle scars and nothing left to live for. When he closes his eyes the scenes of blood and violence return to his mind. Now, captured by the enemy, he is thrown at the mercy of the monarch he fought so hard to destroy.

Young king Denis Shaforostov is cracked glass that one touch would shatter. He is surrounded by his army, men who hate him and violate him and believe he is undeserving of the throne. It seems there is always someone watching him, waiting to seize the opportunity to kill their way to the crown. Lonely and afraid, Denis is on the edge of panic-driven madness. But when the war's over and won, an enemy soldier is thrown at his feet. Curious, Denis can't help but cling to this mysterious, ill-tempered fragment of the outside world.
