BAD AZI

They tried to make him kneel. She gave him a reason to choose.

Rhea Wilde has built an audience by chasing the strange, the haunted, and the things most people know better than to disturb. But when her search for the truth leads her into the path of the Ninth, a secretive cult with a history written in blood, she discovers that some legends were never meant to be proven real.

Azmodai is not the obedient monster the Ninth believes they summoned.

Ancient, powerful, and bound by the pieces of a name stolen from him, Azi has spent centuries being controlled by those arrogant enough to mistake captivity for loyalty. He has survived their rituals, their chains, and every attempt to force him to kneel. What he does not expect is Rhea-the infuriating human who sees the male beneath the monster and offers him something no one else ever has: a choice.

Their connection is dangerous, obsessive, and impossible to ignore. As desire blurs the line between captor and protector, Rhea is pulled deeper into a world of stolen names, brutal rituals, and secrets the Ninth will kill to protect. To survive, she must decide how much of herself she is willing to surrender to a demon who could destroy her-and how far she will go to set him free.

Because Azi is no one's servant.

And when the chains finally break, the people who bound him will learn exactly what they summoned.

BAD AZI is the first book in the Praise & Ruin trilogy, an explicit dark paranormal monster romance featuring an ancient demon, a fearless heroine, obsessive protection, praise kink, morally dark characters, graphic violence, horror elements, dark humor, and a love story forged in blood. Intended for mature readers.
