Bound by Fire

In the depths of Hell, every royal is cursed with a mortal soulmate — a fragile thread that can either bind them in weakness or lift them beyond the throne itself. For most, it is a chain to be broken, a vulnerability to be hidden. But for Zerathos, Prince of Ash and Chains, it is destiny. You are that soulmate — though you don’t know it yet. Living an ordinary human life, you’re unaware that shadows stalk your every step. Hell’s assassins hunt you relentlessly, for your death would break Zerathos and end his claim to power. Defying the Infernal Court, Zerathos crosses into the human world to find you first. He does not come to claim or control, but to protect — and to offer you a choice. He tells you the truth: only if love blossoms between you will your hidden power awaken, a power that can shield you from death and make him stronger than Hell itself. But love cannot be forced. It must be freely chosen, even in the face of fear, fire, and blood. Now, hunted by assassins and standing before a prince of demons, your fate rests on one question: Will you open your heart to Zerathos… or will Hell claim you before love takes root?
