In a world where magic is believed to no longer exist, Leah secretly wishes she was free to choose the course of her own life and not tied to royal duties. Her constant wishing draws the attention of the Demon Lord, Belosh; he gifts her with magic. But, instead of longed-for freedom, she finds she is now an instrument of revenge against Belosh's half-mortal son.
With the lives of her beloved family under threat, Leah has no choice but to do Belosh's bidding. Conscious of his darkness in her, conscious of the fear she's awakened in her people, Leah fights to hold fast to her true self.
