(A Cerys du Lys medieval fantasy erotic romance novel)
Solace never knew love before. Forced into marriage with the Demon King, Bastion, called a savior when she was really a sacrifice, and cast out from the place she tried to call home, she had nothing.
No longer, though. She's found freedom and discovered her heritage. She understands the past and realizes she's allowed to have a future. Solace has strength and pride and...
The only person she's ever loved is now lost. In a desperate attempt to save her from the rebellious armies of the monstrous host that he commands, Bastion has given up his body and soul in order to access the destructive power of a devil. He meant to protect her, but now he's become a monster of terror.
Solace refuses to give up on him, though. She had nothing before Bastion gave her everything. He may have abandoned himself, but she knows exactly what it's like to be lost. She refuses to let him give in to that same overpowering pain.
Can she show Bastion love and bring him back from the depths of the abyss before his reckless devil's transformation ravages his body and consumes his entire life's essence, though? Or is Bastion too far gone, too lost to fear and hate and despair that he can't see the purity of Solace right in front of him?
(This intense medieval fantasy erotic romance novel of dominance and desire, kings and queens, peasants, monsters, and maidens, is ~44,300 words in length)
*EXCERPT*
She was so beautiful, so glorious and wonderful.
Solace smiled at him and held up one hand, touching his cheek with a gentle caress. Their eyes locked and Bastion gazed deep into her soul, seeing something loving and marvelous within. She was tiny--so much smaller than him, especially now--but she bridged the gap between them and stood up on her tiptoes, bringing her face closer to his. With a quiet, delicate daintiness to her action, she pressed her lips the barest amount against his.
Instantly, the heat near his mouth faded into a peppermint frost, slowly spreading out towards his cheeks and his nose and his neck. She backed away and continued to smile, continued to touch his face gently, continued watching him.
Deep inside his mind, scurrying to push away all his other thoughts, a hated idea struggled to the fore: What strength might he gain if he killed her? If a simple kiss from this beautiful maiden could douse the heat from his lips, how much cooler--more tempered? Perfected?--would he become if he bathed in her blood.
There was only one way to find out. Bastion, the Demon King, now in the form of a devilish monstrosity, raised his hand and swiped at the radiant creature before him, intending to kill her with one wretched rip from his darkened claws.
