A war which sent my mother fleeing to the human empire in order to protect me, her unborn child from the carnage, only to abandon me eleven years later.

Dunia kegelapan mengenalnya sebagai Ratu Iblis yang tak terkalahkan, pemimpin yang memerintah dengan tangan besi dan kekuatan tak terbantahkan. Namun, sebelum menjadi sosok yang ditakuti, Zhefora hanyalah seorang gadis kecil yang dikutuk oleh takdir. Ia lahir sebagai putri dari penguasa kerajaan iblis, tetapi sejak kecil ia dijauhi karena cakra iblis yang mengalir dalam tubuhnya—sesuatu yang bahkan kaum iblis sendiri takuti. Dibandingkan dengan saudara-saudaranya yang disanjung dan dihormati, Zhefora tumbuh dalam bayang-bayang ketakutan dan kebencian. Jika ia terluka, orang-orang menghindar. Jika ia tersenyum, mereka menatapnya dengan ngeri. Jika ia menangis, dunia seolah menertawakan kelemahannya. Maka, ia berhenti tersenyum. Berhenti menangis. Berhenti berharap. Di usianya yang ke-16, ibunya meninggal secara tragis, dan ayahnya menghilang dalam perang yang tak pernah dimenangkannya. Takhta kerajaan jatuh ke tangannya—bukan karena ia menginginkannya, tetapi karena tidak ada pilihan lain. Zhefora, yang dulu hanya seorang gadis kesepian, kini berdiri sebagai Ratu Iblis yang ditakuti. Ia menguasai kerajaan dengan kebijaksanaan dan kekuatan, tetapi hatinya tetap kosong. Hanya Erem, tangan kanan dan penasihatnya, yang setia berada di sisinya. Namun, kekuasaan selalu membawa ancaman. Dalam sebuah ekspedisi untuk memperluas wilayahnya, pasukan kerajaan iblis terjebak dalam serangan brutal dari musuh yang tak terduga. Zhefora yang selama ini tak pernah goyah, untuk pertama kalinya menghadapi kemungkinan kekalahan. Di saat itulah ia melihatnya—Aroo. Seorang pria muda dengan kekuatan yang bahkan tak bisa ia duga. Ia bukan iblis, bukan manusia, bukan makhluk yang bisa Zhefora definisikan dengan mudah. Dengan satu gerakan, Aroo membalikkan keadaan. Pasukan musuh yang nyaris menghancurkan mereka, kini bertekuk lutut. Zhefora memandangnya dengan mata tajam. Siapa dia? Mengapa ia membantunya? Dan yang lebih penting... mengapa kehadirannya membuat hati Zhefora yang beku mulai retak? Seiring waktu, hubungan mereka berkembang—dari sekadar ratu dan panglima, menjadi sesuatu yang lebih berbahaya. Zhefora yang selama ini hanya mengenal kesepian, mulai merasakan sesuatu yang lebih dalam.

So, Mia Ainsworth, will you marry me?” he asked her. She seemed interested to know how this ends. Yesterday he had gotten on his knee to give her the gold and green ribbons and she wanted to see how this would go. “Okay, and then what?” “Then the to-be bride says yes,” he guided her. “So I say yes?” “Yes,” he nodded. “That’s my line,” she protested with a pout. “Then say it.” “Yes,” she said, and he took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger. He rose to his feet and pulled her against himself before claiming her lips. They pulled away, and he placed his head against hers, his eyes fluttering. “The kiss is a part of the tradition?” “Yes,” he said, beaming at her. His happiness was getting her excited, “Okay, now what?” “We get married.”
