Ten years after riding out of the small kingdom of Galitia, its brutal young king Andras has achieved the unimaginable and conquered the continent of Ostria. His ruthless dominance over his enemies has earned him the chilling moniker 'The Demon of Galitia'.
With the final kingdom, Jortrel, conquered, its nobles bow before Andras, offering him their allegiance and treasures. Instead of gold, jewels, and silk, the impoverished Duke of Tyrese presents his daughter Korbela as tribute. Korbela intrigues Andras, and he accepts her as his possession, to be wielded as he pleases.
Though Korbela dutifully embraces her role as Andras's possession, she embarks on a perilous game to undermine him and sway him to depart from Jortrel. To her astonishment, she discovers that Andras is not the thoughtless tyrant she had believed him to be, but a man of intricate intelligence, capable of both tenderness and ferocity. Beneath the facade of dominance, she encounters a solitary soul locked in battle with a demon, triggering moments of extreme cruelty that leave Andras tormented by remorse.
Andras begins to revel in Korbela's presence. He finds fascination in her unambiguous challenges, as she becomes the sole individual in his life without ulterior motives. As Andras delves deeper into Korbela's world, he increasingly relies on her for emotional sustenance as he grapples with the transition from war to peace and the responsibilities of governing an empire.
Before long, Andras realizes that he cannot exist without Korbela, and a remarkable bond forms between them grows, but can Korbela drive the demon from inside him?
