Shattered Hearts: A Demon’s Clause

Pavel thought the Goddess had summoned him and his classmates to become heroes.

Instead, the Demon King stole him first.

A refugee with a past shaped by war, loss, and survival, Pavel only wants to find his friends, Yuki and Keith, after they are taken to another world. But Demon King Velmorn claims the Goddess is not the savior she appears to be. In the demon kingdom, Pavel sees civilians, families, and children—not monsters. Then he discovers reports of massacres and purges carried out against demon-kind in the name of humanity.

Pavel knows the difference between war and extermination.

Now trapped between the Goddess who summoned him and the Demon King who stole him, Pavel accepts Velmorn’s offer to become his apostle. With the ancient Shadowborne power of shadow manipulation forced into his human body, Pavel gains the strength he needs to survive.

But power comes with pain, and Pavel’s only goal remains clear.

Find Yuki. Find Keith. Learn the truth.
