An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride

Zagan, a young sorcerer feared across the land, is named as a contender to join the 13 Archdemons after the death of the group’s eldest member, Marchosias. At the auction held at Marchosias’s estate, Zagan is caught off guard by a sudden, overwhelming attraction—and in a rash decision, he spends every last coin to bring home Nephelia, a rare elf slave, to his castle. Her past is shadowed by secrets, and living under the same roof soon raises questions Zagan can’t ignore.

Despite his power and reputation, Zagan has no idea how to handle affection, and his clumsy attempts at connecting create plenty of uneasy, tender moments with Nephelia—whom he quickly starts calling “Nephy.” As they slowly learn to trust one another, the distance between them narrows, and it becomes harder to deny that Nephy’s feelings may be closer to Zagan’s than either of them expected.
