THE DEMON KING SHADOW : RISE OF UNCROWNED HEIR

Hitam_Sh
Synopsis: The Demon King's Shadow: Rise of the Uncrowned Heir Azrael, once the mighty Demon King who ruled with an iron fist, has fallen. The gods, in their eternal wrath, have struck him down, reducing his empire to ashes. His once-impenetrable fortress lies in ruins, and the man who once commanded legions of demons now finds himself trapped in the body of a broken slave. But Azrael is no mere mortal, and death is not the end. His soul, a fragment of immense power, refuses to fade into nothingness. Instead, it awakens in the body of a new, frail shell. With a cursed collar around his neck and shackles binding his body, Azrael begins his rise anew, guided by the Shadow System—an ancient, fragmented power that allows him to sow fear, break wills, and rebuild his strength from the shadows. In the depths of a slave mine, Azrael begins to weave his web of terror. His first act of vengeance is swift: turning the overseers’ cruelty against them, breaking their minds and sealing their fate. With each soul he terrifies, he grows stronger, unlocking powers long buried within him. His goal is simple—sow fear, break the chains, and return to the throne that was once his. But the gods, aware of the stirring darkness beneath their feet, will not let Azrael rise without a fight. As he rebuilds his power, he must face those who would see him stay broken, and confront the ancient forces that seek to erase his very existence. In a world where fear is a weapon, Azrael is no longer a king in the light—but a shadow, waiting for the right moment to strike. --- This dark fantasy novel follows Azrael's cunning, ruthless path to reclaim his throne, exploring themes of power, fear, vengeance, and rebirth. As he manipulates those around him, turning their greatest terror into his greatest strength, Azrael will stop at nothing to achieve his ultimate goal—becoming the uncrowned heir of the demon realm once more.

She reaches the kingdom and Meets Lord Jasper in the hopes of making a big income she receives more than what she bargains for. ---------------------------------- Teaser: Jasper placed both of his hands on either side of Nicole's head trapping her with his body. He stared down at her looking at his sweet innocent lamb, he couldn't help but smile at her widely. Her doe-like eyes staring back at him only made him want to devour her "Why do you play these games with me darling you know I don't like it. I think you forgot who you're dealing with." He leaned down against her lips slightly flicking his tongue in her mouth making her crave for more."My Quahneah Woman" Nicole gasped in shock as she wondered how he knew her tribe's name. Before she could say another Jasper had cupped her cheek softly placing his lips on hers and kissing her softly as he slowly removed his hands against the wall. He was wrapping his arms around her waist bringing her body closer to his as there was no space between them. As they continued Nicole started to become breathless pulling herself back to breathe, she couldn't help but look up to see Jasper looking at her with a smile that was Duchenne. His purple orbs looked into her seeing the love and adorn affection he was showing her.  "Jasper I have a question to ask you" Jasper hummed waiting for her question" What are we going to do about the tirade ." Jasper's smile suddenly became sinister as he narrowed his eyes "Why don't you leave that to me, darling."

Grace of a Wolf

Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ----- [Grace's POV] As a human, I should be miles away from any large shifter event. Especially the annual Mate Hunt. A hunt for mates. Doesn't that sound barbaric? Yeah, it's as bad as it sounds. Several packs in the area gather as their newly minted adult wolves shift. Females are let into the woods first and are given an hour's head start, just before sundown. Then it's time for the males, ostensibly thrown out to hunt down the scent of their fated (or chosen) mates. It isn't an event for the faint of heart, and it's definitely no place for someone who can't shift. So why the fuck am I here, running my little human heart out, chased by what sounds like an entire pack of wolves? Great question. I don't know, either. But I'm here. Surrounded by howls fueled by the thrill of the hunt. Feet bleeding. Lungs freezing. I am so fucked. ---- R18. Dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]
