In the Demon Age, a strict monarchy reigns. Each member of the royal family selects three noble Angels to serve them for a year, to feed on and play with as they please.

​

Despite their lowborn status, best friends Vira and Demi dream of the prestige and protection that come with being a Royal Angel. Stuck working in back-alley pubs feeding any Demon who walks in, they hatch a desperate plan to attend the annual royal selection ceremony.

​

But their scheme works too well. The expectation is three, but tongues wag when the Prince forgoes tradition and selects only one to serve him—Vira. Suffocated by his unlikely decision, she distracts herself with the palace IT-boy and her loyal guard, who care for her differently.

​

Left behind, Demi turns to the dead. Her growing affinity for necromancy — the ancient root of Demonkind — draws the attention of two seductive and influential Demons who pull her into their twisted orbit.​
