    About this ebook

    The very beginning of "Demon Legends", how it all started for the Series.
    The prologue is the beginning of the current story "The Price of a Crown"

    An ambitious young princess plots to get to the throne and seeks the help of her greedy cousin, Duke Horace. He is in control of a bloodthirsty demon, which will kill anyone on command.
    In a world where magic is rare and demons are merely a myth, we will join one who has no choice but to take part in the humans’ affairs.
    What does it take to be a Queen? What is the Price of the Crown? A tale of betrayal and loyalty, family and bloodshed and a pinch of romance.

The boundaries of their self-claimed lands pushed against one another and the creatures could not find peace in their existence.
