Can their forbidden love survive a deadly world?
–
Sonny, a son of a demon king, lost everything in one night: his family, his demon prince identity. He had no choice but to hide his identity where demons are hunted down like animals, and his powers sealed by his father for protection. 

And he lived among the righteous cultivators for many years, slowly forgetting what it means to be a demon prince, or to be truly himself. 

He learned to survive in obedience and silence, and carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders, his true bloodline that nobody can ever discover, not his new master, can know the truth, or everything will become ashes and blood. 

Many years ago, when he was a child, he was saved by a righteous cultivator who was known for coldness and beauty, but sent him into a literal world of suffering, unintentionally. 

Killian, his frosty master, is rumored to hunt down demons, and so he knows he shouldn't trust him, but sometimes Killian shows a glimpse of kindness to him, which thaws his icy heart.
He can't help feeling drawn to the man, like a moth to a flame. 

Can Killian ever choose him, someone who is a demon of powerful lineage, and not see him as a threat or a monster?

The cold man asked, “Who are you?”

The eight-year-old Sonny, his weary body falling to the ground, lifted his head and looked at the cold man, whose expression was unreadable, his silver hair falling across his shoulders, beautiful in the moonlight. 

“...My name is Sonny.”

The cold man lifted him into his arms and flew into the sky, taking him away from all he knew, his life forever changed.

We rode nearly half the day, and no one bothered us, and Killian stopped his horse, which made a sound. The horse's hooves kicked the dirt on the ground, and Killian turned to me. "We need to take a break; we've been riding all day."


I nodded; my back was nearly killing me. It ached everywhere, including my legs, which squeezed the horse, and I pulled the horse, and I got off of it. 


I looked around the dark forest we were in, and there was nearly no light, and the sky was still dark. I knew nothing about the demon world, but there was stuff in the forest I could use to make fire.


I turned to Killian. "I'm going to grab some branches so we can make some fire."


Killian nodded. "Okay, I will help you."


He got off his horse and tied the strings to the tree so the horse couldn't run away. We walked for a while and grabbed any branches we found on the ground.
