She touched his book, now he owns her.

Master Thief, Reya Vance, thought she had found the perfect gig to help her escape a lifetime of abuse. It was supposed to be easy, steal The Chronicles of Erebos and get out of Royal City. 

How was she supposed to know a demon lived between the pages? 

Worse still? She is now bound to him! 

With Erebos' intentions unclear, an Inquisitorial psychopath hunting her, and the entire Thieves Guild wanting blood, Reya must figure out why she was set up in the first place if she is to have any hope for a happy ending.

Fear by Louisapoof
53 parts Complete Mature
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

When she dares to escape, carrying more than just secrets, the stars shift-and so does the end of the world. "I need you to understand something," he said, circling her like a beast sizing up its prey. "You don't just belong to me physically." Lou's breath hitched. "You belong to me mentally.
