In the cursed town of Eldhollow, silence is survival ..and blood is the price. Every year, one soul is sacrificed to keep the Devil's pact alive. Azrael, bound by fire and runes since childhood, is the reluctant executioner, delivering names chosen by the elders into the Hollowing's depths. But when Lilith ... a girl marked not by magic, but by memory ...follows him into the forest, the pact begins to unravel.
She was there the night Azrael was bound. Hidden in the trees with her father, watching the flames consume a boy who never screamed. For years, she's watched him from the shadows, reading the town's secrets, tracing the Devil's whispers, and listening to Azrael's cries as he returns from each kill. Now, the forest calls her by name.
As the altar cracks and ancient hunger stirs beneath the roots, Lilith must confront the truth: her father's disappearance, her connection to the pact, and the terrifying possibility that the Devil isn't just watching her...
He may be her blood.
The Devil's Favorite is a dark fantasy romance steeped in horror, grief, and forbidden legacy ... where love is dangerous, silence is deadly, and the forest remembers everything.

Power that binds love
💀📖 "Power That Binds Love" - A Dark Romantic Fantasy What happens when a soul cursed by Heaven catches the attention of Hell? Athena Vivalda is numb. Not broken. Not grieving. Just... void. She walks the earth with no dreams, no attachments, no care for the living or the dead - and certainly no faith in God. But one strange encounter sets her spiraling into a world that blurs the line between myth and damnation. Enter Azarel Dearil - a figure whispered about in ancient tongues. He isn't here to redeem her. He isn't here to destroy her. He wants her to feel. And that makes him dangerous. "You want death, Athena. I want to give you something worse." Because if she falls in love, she dies - not in body, but in everlasting guilt, tormented beyond hell itself. "Firstly, I'm not going against him, neither do I believe in him. He may have created me, but what gives him the right to demand I worship him?" "He's not the hero humans see him to be. He's the writer - he decides who gets to be the villain or the hero.".................................... 💔 "Fall in love, and you die." But death would be too easy for Athena Vivalda. Her curse promises something far worse - a life haunted by guilt, a soul trapped between Heaven and Hell. She's rich. Untouchable. Emotionless by design. Until he appears. Azarel Dearil - mysterious, magnetic, possibly the Devil himself - doesn't come to save. He comes to awaken everything she's buried. He offers her a deal: no contracts, no strings. Just one meeting a week. But the more they talk, the more she starts to feel... And the more she feels, the closer she is to destruction. God watches. Hell waits. And love might be the deadliest sin of all. 🔥 A dark fantasy romance about defiance, damnation, and a desire strong enough to burn Heaven down. Perfect for fans of forbidden love, morally grey characters, and slow-burn tension that explodes.Complete
