Stripped, humiliated, and trapped in the lair of the feared Demon Lord Iblis Jabril, Shamsiya faces a fate worse than death. Can she reclaim her dignity, or is she destined to be nothing more than a purchased object in a world ruled by demons and ancient powers?

Shamsiya's life as an orphan taught her to crave belonging. She found it, or so she thought, in Nick, who promised a future of glamour. But two years of tireless devotion end not in love, but betrayal, as Nick sells her to clear his gambling debts. Stripped, humiliated, and trapped in the lair of the feared Demon Lord Iblis Jabril, Shamsiya faces a fate worse than death. Can she reclaim her dignity, or is she destined to be nothing more than a purchased object in a world ruled by demons and ancient powers?

The chill of the floor seeped into Shamsiya's bones, but it was the icy grip of betrayal that truly froze her. Her ribs screamed with every shallow breath, a cruel counterpoint to the thudding echo of the door slamming shut, locking her in.

Nick, her husband, the man she’d toiled for, the man she’d believed loved her, had just kicked her, spat on her, and left her for dead, all after announcing he'd sold her like chattel to pay off a gambling debt. The sheer audacity, the cold-heartedness, stole what little air remained in her lungs.

Her mind, sluggish from pain and two days of hunger, struggled to grasp the enormity of it. Sold. Like a property. The word tasted like ash. All her life, she'd craved belonging, found it in the promise of marriage, only for it to unravel into this horrifying nightmare. Tears, hot and shameful, streamed down her bruised cheeks. What was her fault? What sinful crime had she committed to end up here, bruised and broken, waiting for a fate she couldn't comprehend?
