24 parts Complete MaturePrincess Aeris Daphne Smith has three problems:
1. She's sixteen, sarcastic, and utterly uninterested in becoming a pawn in her kingdom's political marriage game.
2. She's cursed to die young, thanks to some ancient family secret no one wants to talk about.
3. Oh-and there's a hot new court scholar who's definitely a demon sent to steal her soul.
Zephaniah has harvested thousands of souls without hesitation. Cold, calculating, and disguised as a charming nobleman, he's sent to Eldoria for one simple task: make Aeris emotionally vulnerable, then rip her soul out like a well-cooked roast. Easy. Until she starts making jokes at his expense. Until he starts laughing. Until he realizes he's in more danger than she is.
Falling in love was never part of the deal.
As court intrigue tightens, assassins close in, and celestial forces close the noose around Aeris's fate, the two must decide: defy prophecy and burn the world down for each other-or play their roles and lose everything.
Sharp-witted, darkly romantic, and deliciously twisted, The Devil's Crown is a story of love, curses, and the worst possible timing.
