A privelaged, aimless young man becomes the victim of a centuries-old curse when he is given to the demon prince for purposes unknown.
Down on his luck and penniless, nobleman Octavius Knight struck a bargain with a demon, promising one of his descendants to her in exchange for wealth, power, status, and prosperity. The demon who answered his call was none other than the Queen of Hell herself, and she has her own reasons for granting his request. By providing this fortune for not only Octavius, but generations of his descendants, she breeds a collection of intelligent, strong, and beautiful humans for her son, the heir to the throne, to choose from.
Aaron Knight knew the story his entire life, but never expected that he would be the one chosen, nor did he know what to expect when it happened. Now, he must navigate an unexpected marriage to a flamboyant and excitable demon, and acclimate to his new royal obligations.
Leaving his complacent but comfortable lifestyle behind, he must find a way to rise to the occasion.

The Prince of Destruction
The Vessel woke up inside the body of Prince Xander, the villain of the dark fantasy novel he just finished reading. His new kingdom, Maldrovia, is cold, brutal, and utterly unforgiving, and his only path to survival is to play the part of the merciless royal he replaced. To maintain control, Xander relies on the Tether-an ancient magic that grants him absolute, psychic dominion over his shadow-cloaked, lethally efficient Commander, Valen. Without his armor, Valen is exposed, silent, and unnervingly devoted, driving Xander into a terrifying spiral of possessive desire fueled by the Tether's dark magic. As they flee the castle and travel North, Xander's control begins to falter. He soon realizes the terrifying truth: the Tether is not merely a leash on Valen; it is a chain around his own soul, addicting him to Xander's cruelty and the thrill of absolute power. When the forgotten name of Rian surfaces-a gentle scholar Valen insists never existed-Xander is forced to confront the impossible. Valen is not a slave to the Tether but a liar protecting a monstrous secret. To break the spell and save his soul from the darkness of the Crimson Prince, Xander must follow the faintest trail of the man Valen tried to erase, even if it means destroying the terrifying, intoxicating anti-hero he's become.
