Instead, Syrus, the Demon Lord of Malice, claims her as his host, taking control of her thoughts and body while promising release. To earn freedom, she must help uncover a soul-sabotaging traitor within his realm, yet their hunt turns into protection. The bargain deepens into obsessive forced proximity and reveals a hidden truth.","The Infernal Bond  \nDemon Bound  \nDemon Touched  \nDemon Unleashed  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nThis is a work of fiction.

But the Lord of Malice offers a bargain:  \nHelp him uncover who is sabotaging souls before they reach his domain, and he will release me.  \nExcept somewhere between hunting traitors in his realm and unraveling  \nsecrets in mine, the demon who should be my captor becomes my protector. And all too soon his hold on me is the drug I fear I can’t survive.  \nBecause when I finally learn the truth, I may find something I want even more than my freedom.  \nPerfect for fans of the Nightmare in One Dark Window and dark Hades and Persephone romances, this demon-possession romantasy delivers a shadowy MMC, obsessive tension, and the ultimate forced proximity.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTrigger Warning  \nPlease be aware this book contains graphic scenes meant for an adult audience only.
