About this book

Archie is the youngest son of a Duke, suffocating under the weight of unwanted noble expectations and a secret that could ruin him. Trapped between his mother’s relentless matchmaking and his brother’s threats of exile, he feels utterly alone. Desperate to escape his closeted reality, he inadvertently calls upon something far more dangerous than social scandal.

Enter Damaris, a powerful incubus fleeing the treacherous politics of the demon realm. Reduced to a mere whisper of shadow, he needs a human host to siphon energy and reclaim his lost magic. When he latches onto Archie, he expects a simple conquest of life force. Instead, he finds a man whose hunger for affection matches his own bottomless craving for power.

This dark romance masterfully blends historical intrigue with the high-stakes tension of forbidden paranormal desire. As the lines between host and possessor blur, their connection evolves from a parasitic necessity into an addictive, soul-binding passion. If you are searching for a queer fantasy read that explores the intoxicating cost of being truly seen, look no further. This is a seductive tale of corruption where the demon might just be the one who ends up losing his heart.

Loved it!

I liked their connection and how it all wrapped up even though...

Probably 4.5 stars rounded to 5. I was totally hooked the entire time reading the book but after felt like I wanted a little more. This follows the youngest son of an aristocratic family set in an alternate world where there are demons coming from a different realm. These demons need to make deals with humans for possession to really experience the world. Due to a treaty with the king, this process is normally very unregulated though as our MC finds, can happen. After years of repressing his...

This was good but I kept waiting for something more to happen and all of a sudden it was over! I wish there was more excitement and that Alfie got more of a backbone. I was waiting for him to become a stronger person and not to rely on Damaris so much but that never happened. The writing was good but there were a lot of mistakes, hopefully they will be cleaned up before it is published. ) One person found this helpful
