In a world where magic is believed to no longer exist, Leah secretly wishes she was someone other than the king's daughter. Someone different, someone free to choose the course of her own life.

Her constant wishing draws the attention of the Demon Lord, Belosh. He decides to gift her with magic. But, instead of longed-for freedom, she finds herself forced to be 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.
