Alastor

In a realm where demons rule through elegance and violence in equal measure, a solitary monarch finds his destiny rewritten the night a battered mortal woman is dragged before his throne. Alastor, a sovereign feared for his power and revered for his composure, recognizes her instantly-not from any courtly record, but from a haunting vision that pierced his sleep. Receiver, blind yet unbroken, arrives in his palace with nothing but defiance in her voice and bruises on her skin, unaware she stands before a king who has waited lifetimes for the face she bears.

When a reckless demon strikes her, Alastor's fury ignites the palace and reveals a truth he can no longer ignore: the woman dismissed as a frail outsider is the one soul fate has bound to his own. Sweeping her into his protected chambers, he discovers a strength beneath her vulnerability and a courage that challenges his every expectation. As the palace whispers of prophecy and danger, the connection between them deepens into a fierce, undeniable pull-one that threatens to unravel the careful order of his reign.

But Receiver's arrival awakens more than love. Old enemies rise, ancient powers stir, and Alastor must confront a destiny entwined with a mortal who was never meant to survive in his world. Together they navigate court intrigue, forbidden longing, and a bond powerful enough to reshape an empire-if it does not destroy them first.
