THE DEVIL'S JEWEL
When her father offers her as tribute to save their dying kingdom, nineteen-year-old Eryndra Nightveil becomes a pawn in a game far deadlier than politics.
King Malakar Veyrath has ruled the Kingdom of Valethorne for over two centuries, his very name striking terror into neighboring realms. What the world doesn't know is that their most feared monarch is actually a demon king who feeds on human suffering—and he hasn't had a queen to torment in decades.
Eryndra arrives at the fortress-palace believing she's entering a political marriage that will save her people. Instead, she's walked into the lair of a predator who views breaking her spirit as his newest entertainment. But the sheltered noblewoman harbors secrets even she doesn't understand—dormant witch blood flows through her veins, and something about her presence unsettles the demon king in ways he's never experienced.
As Malakar's games of psychological torture begin, Eryndra must find strength she never knew she possessed. Because in the perpetual twilight of Valethorne, survival isn't just about enduring the darkness—it's about discovering the light that lies hidden within.
Some monsters can be defeated. Others can be transformed. But first, you have to survive long enough to find out which kind you're facing.

Chapter: PainsKingdom of Aethermoor Two Days Later: NightfallThe door to Princess Eryndra's room creaked open and the maid stepped inside to find the young princess sitting in front of her dressing mirror, already dressed to retire for the night. Her nightgown was simple but elegant, fitting for someone who'd grown up knowing she was royalty but had never quite felt the weight of it until recently."Good evening, Princess," her handmaid greeted, bowing slightly.Eryndra looked at her through the mirror's reflection, letting out a small smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Something had been bothering her these past few days, though she couldn't put her finger on what exactly."Enrica," she called softly, turning in her chair."Your Highness, your father requests your presence in his chamber," Enrica said, her voice carrying an odd formality that made Eryndra pause.Eryndra nodded slowly. "Alright," she muttered, standing up. It was unusual for her father to summon her this late, especially whe

Chapter: The Demon's AnswerThe Kingdom of Valethorne lived in eternal twilight, and today that darkness felt heavier than usual.Lord Kenneth's screams echoed through the throne room, bouncing off black stone walls that had witnessed countless similar scenes. The guards continued their work with practiced efficiency, each strike of the whip calculated to cause maximum pain without granting the mercy of unconsciousness.King Malakar Veyrath sat motionless on his obsidian throne, watching the punishment with an expression that revealed nothing. His face could have been carved from the same black stone as his castle walls. Those hollow eyes - dark as the void between stars - held secrets that would drive lesser men mad just from knowing them.The other council members stood frozen around the room like statues, their faces masks of horror they dared not show too openly. Each one understood the unspoken rule that had kept them alive this long: never question the king's judgment, never show weakness, and never, ever

Chapter: Letter From ValethorneThe evening sun cast soft rays across the kingdom. Princess Eryndra Nightveil sat by her small garden, watering her plants with careful hands.Her gentle voice hummed sweet melodies while she tended to each flower. The roses seemed to lean toward her touch, the daisies bloomed a little brighter. She never noticed things like that though.Eryndra was nineteen years old and her life had been locked inside these palace walls for as long as she could remember. Well, not always. There was a time when she could run through the marketplace, laugh with the village children, explore the forests beyond the castle grounds. But that was before.Before her mother died ten years ago in that terrible accident. Before her father's heart broke so completely that he couldn't bear to let his only remaining family out of his sight.
