Cedric: The Demonic Knight
About this ebook
Fearful of others discovering his true nature, he weds the Lady of the Court, Angeline, after winning a tournament. The dormant magic in her veins overwhelms his senses, forcing him to realize she’s more than what she appears.

As she travels alongside her monstrous, short-tempered husband, she will soon discover there is fear behind the rage and her feelings begin to shift when Cedric is at his weakest.
