"Never tease a warrior, Maiden," he said, his voice hoarse with anticipation.

She didn't utter a word, but her eyes reflected a sense of alarm. So he waited, slowly suffocating the distance between their bodies into nonexistence—giving her plenty of opportunity to pull away.

Her hands gripped the front of his armor and her eyelashes fluttered. Her breaths came in quick, short gasps of expectation—all the encouragement he needed.

The Demon wants Aisilyn for his bride, and he's sending his Dark Warrior to get her. Her sister, Gennavieve, isn't about to let that happen.

The malevolent Demon has claimed a bride—the maiden, Aisilyn—from the sacred City of Light. Five families wait with dread, uncertain if their Aisilyn is the one the Dark Warrior will take. Only Gennavieve remains convinced the Warrior will come for her sister. To protect Aisilyn, and her upcoming marriage, Gennavieve puts herself in her sister's place—allowing the Dark Warrior to claim her as the Demon's chosen bride. What Gennavieve never considered is what she would do if she fell in love with the servant of darkness.

In a world driven by faith, no one knows which prophecy will be fulfilled—or whether Gennavieve's choice will lead to the Demon's destruction or her own.
