In a world where demons pull the strings from the shadows, an ancient curse binds every firstborn daughter of the royal bloodline to a dreadful fate: to marry the Devil himself—Lucien, the exiled Prince of Hell. For centuries, these brides have disappeared without a trace, swallowed by darkness.

Evelyn Blackthorne, the sharp-witted and fiercely independent daughter of a fallen noble house, is the next to be sacrificed. But Evelyn refuses to surrender. Instead, she strikes a bold deal with Lucien—help her reclaim her family’s honor, and she will accept their cursed union without resistance.

Their alliance begins as a cold, calculated bargain, but as Evelyn uncovers Lucien’s tragic past and the true nature of the curse, their relationship deepens beyond mere convenience. Together, they face deadly enemies: angels determined to annihilate Lucien, ruthless demons vying for his throne, and an ancient prophecy warning that their forbidden love could ignite the destruction of both Heaven and Hell.

In The Devil’s Bride, a tale of dark fantasy and forbidden romance, Evelyn and Lucien must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for love—and for power.

Torchlight bathed its broken halls, illuminating soldiers of shadow and flame—each one loyal to Evelyn. War was no longer coming. It was here.


Evelyn stood before the Mirror of Ruin—the one Lucien had hidden, now uncovered. Its surface trembled as visions flickered: her wearing the Burning Crown, wings stretched behind her, soaked in light and fire. The throne of thorns bowed beneath her, and at her feet—both angels and demons knelt.


"You saw this," Evelyn said quietly. "Didn't you?"


Lucien nodded, stepping forward, guilt painted across his face.


"I was afraid... of what it meant for you."


He looked into her eyes. "Now I'm afraid of what it means for them."


Kael returned from the eastern front, armor stained with soot.


"They're massing," he told them. "Three legions of the Crimson Order. And worse… whispers of Seraphhina's blade being drawn."


Evelyn's hand curled into a fist. "She wants a queen's trial?"


Evelyn turned to the war map, tracing the lines that separated realms.


"We fight. Not for thrones. Not for prophecy. But because we choose to stand."


Lucien watched her in silence—then took her hand. "Then I stand with you."


Meanwhile, in the Shattered Sanctum, Seraphhina watched her own army prepare.


Golden-winged warriors sharpened blades. Creatures carved from light chanted her name.


But her eyes focused only on one thing: a single petal, violet and fading, held between her fingers.


"She chose fire over grace," Seraphhina murmured. "Let us see if she survives it."


And as the stars blinked over the Realm of Thorns, Evelyn walked alone to the Garden once again.


"You always find peace here," Lucien said behind her.


"Because it's the only place I'm not a weapon," she whispered.


Lucien stepped closer. "You're not just a weapon, Evelyn. You're the key."


He leaned in, eyes burning. "To everything."


Their lips touched—fire and shadow in perfect balance.


And for a moment… the world held its breath.


But far away, beneath the Sea of Forgotten Bones, he stirred again.


The King Who Burns the World stepped out of his tomb, his face still masked.


"She wears my crown," he said, smiling.


🔥 Evelyn chooses to fight. Lucien chooses her. But the King has awakened.
