She was born to kill him. He was born to destroy her world. Lyra Ashbourne is the last hunter of the Order. Her mission is simple: find the Blood Eyed Demon, and end him. His crimson eyes have haunted her nightmares since childhood—eyes that slaughtered her entire clan in one night. But when she finally tracks him down, she doesn’t find a monster. She finds a prisoner. Chained. Wounded. Beautiful in a way that makes her stomach twist. Kael Vireon, the demon king feared by kingdoms. Cursed with blood-red eyes that burn anyone who meets his gaze. For 300 years he’s been locked underground, waiting for death. Lyra should drive the stake through his heart. Instead, she unlocks his chains. Because the Order lied. Because the real monster isn’t the demon with blood eyes… it’s the people who caged him. Now they’re bound by a blood pact. She needs him to survive the war coming. He needs her to keep the curse from consuming him. Hate should be easy. Trust should be impossible. But in the dark, with his blood eyes watching her every move, Lyra starts to wonder… What if the demon she was meant to kill… is the only one who can save her?
