Horns & Wings (+18)

Ahria has spent her life killing demons.

As an Ascended Paladin, she is one of humanity's deadliest weapons - an angel of light sent across battlefields to defend a kingdom that taught her demons were monsters. But when her army falls and her wings begin to fade, Ahria chooses death before capture.

Until a beautiful stranger stops her blade.

Keyron is the Demon King's eldest son, too human to be accepted by demons and too monstrous to ever belong among humans. Saving an enemy general should have been an act of mercy. Instead, the ancient mark he places upon her makes Ahria his property under demon law - and paints a target on both their backs.

There is only one way to protect her.

Marriage.

Bound by blood and a Life Mark that allows them to feel each other's pain, fear, and desire, Ahria and Keyron are forced beneath the same roof while two kingdoms prepare to tear them apart. She should hate him for everything he represents. He should return her before she destroys what little remains of his place in the world.

But the closer they become, the harder it is to tell which truths belong to their enemies - and which chains they have mistaken for freedom.

Because loving each other may demand more than betraying their kingdoms.

It may cost them everything they were raised to be.
