The Devil's Claim
(2026)(The first book in the Eternal War Chronicles series)
A novel by Alice Newgate
SERAPHINE
I was sent into enemy territory on a mission designed to fail.
The demon who captured me was supposed to be my enemy.
Instead, he returned my weapons. He sat beside my sickbed for four days.
He had his legal team building a filing to protect me from day nine — before I'd even decided to stay.
I don't know what to do with a man who prepares for your choices before you've made them.
I know I should leave.
I know I'm not going to.
KAEL
I have ruled the Seventh Circle for a century without softness.
I did not plan for her.
I did not plan for the angel warrior in my dungeon who knocked a blade off a ledge with a ceramic cup, stopped a Void incursion with four feet of chain, and looked at my annotated maps like she was finally reading the right language.
I did not plan for the bond. For the pull that has been in my chest since the moment she crossed my border.
I am an excellent strategist.
She is the one contingency I never prepared for.
She was his prisoner. He was her enemy. The Void that threatened both their realms didn't care about either of those things — and neither, in the end, did they.
An enemies-to-lovers romantasy about an angel warrior and the demon lord who refuses to let her go. Slow-burn tension, fated mates, and a heroine who stays by choice.
HEA guaranteed. No cliffhanger.
Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and Ash.
