The Price of Power

◦ Twelve-year-old Nemo Ivanov has spent his life drifting through the orphanage, unwanted and forgotten. Desperate for control over his fate, he forms a contract with Lucian, a powerful demon who offers him strength in exchange for unwavering devotion. But power comes at a cost-ritual sacrifices must be made, or the creeping corruption will consume Nemo's body and soul.

◦ When the kind-hearted Holloway family adopts him, Nemo experiences warmth and stability for the first time. He almost believes he can escape his fate. But Lucian's whispers never stop, and the hunger for sacrifice grows stronger. As the days pass, the corruption spreads, forcing Nemo to make a terrible choice: cling to the family he never had, or fulfill his deadly contract before it consumes him completely.

◦ In a chilling tale of power, fate, and the weight of impossible choices, The Price of Power explores the darkness that lurks within-and the cost of embracing it.
