Devil's Advocate

(Adapted from Everweave, a D&D AI Gaming App)

Rayla Shade has mastered three things: survival, sarcasm, and never falling in love.

Born a Wild-Shape Tiefling and raised among Humans, she has spent decades watching fate steal everyone she's ever cared for. While she remains unchanged, her heart has hardened into something untouchable. Now she lives by the blade - a wandering mercenary and bounty hunter who refuses permanence, attachment, or anything that might leave scars deeper than steel ever could.

Then her past returns wearing a devil's smile.

The Demon Prince of Wrath, Aethelgard, she once swore to destroy has risen again - powerful, dangerous, and far too familiar. Hunting him should be simple. Killing him should be easy. But the closer Rayla gets, the more the line between enemy and ally begins to blur. Beneath his cruelty lies a wicked charm, ancient loneliness, and a pull she cannot resist...no matter how fiercely she tries.

Every interaction burns hotter than the last, charged with rivalry, temptation, and truths neither of them dares to speak aloud. As dark forces close in and old powers awaken, Rayla must decide whether she can trust the monster who knows her better than anyone - or risk losing herself to a desire as intoxicating as it is forbidden.

Because some loves are dangerous.

And some are worth damnation.
