The Helio's Bride
A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?
Killing her demon (1)
"There's nothing so flaming about this door." She observed as it creaked open. It must be at least several millennia-old but although it did give her an eerie feeling, there wasn't anything about it that matched Aires's description. Did she find the wrong place? She extinguished the thought as soon as it formed. There was no other door down the path of the fiery moon and according to the map, she was in the right place.
So she took several deep breaths, walked into the dark, narrow hallway, and grabbed a flaming torch as soon as she saw one on the wall to her left. She trod carefully, trying not to make the slightest noise in fear of startling a demon she was not ready to face. A gust of wind breezed past her, nearly turning off her torch.
