Book Blurb

"I must ask you--with greatest respect, Lord Demon..." The general looked up with eyes maddened by fury. "Why do you drape your arm around the Divine Emperor with such intimate familiarity?" 

Rodukjo stared down his nose at the general. "Your emperor has but one thing of value to offer in exchange for my fealty. The pleasures of his body." 

Newly crowned Emperor Dianese needs the power of the lascivious demon Rodukjo to solidify his authority. The mighty demon asks for a dear price in exchange for his aid, one Dianese has no choice but to accept.  

The emperor expects a life of suffering at the hands of the demon, but as their partnership evolves something more profound develops.


Book Review

From its beautifully rendered cover through to its final page, ‘The Demon and The Emperor’ is a magnificent example of what a good Yaoi romance should aspire to be. I loved everything about this divine story! It is a perfect balance of imaginative storyline, excellent characterization, crisp dialogue, exquisite settings, tough to tender romance, and scintillating smex. It’s a fast-paced read, but so well edited that the fullness of the story had me thinking I spent days with these characters rather than hours. And what a pleasure to take on the persona of both the demon Rodukjo and the Emperor Dianese, when a promise made in desperation become a bond of love. Woot! A truly spellbinding male/male erotic fantasy that should not be missed.

Young Emperor Dianese has inherited a kingdom fraught with enemies who conspire to alleviate the half-fey cami of his kingly rights… and molest him to boot. Desperate, he proceeds with his late father’s plans to secure the services of the great Lord Demon Rodukjo. Dianese hopes to strike a deal to protect his person and his kingdom and perhaps the Lord Demon will agree to help him unite his entire realm as well. He has come to the site of the exchange laden with the costly gifts said to bind the demon to his side. Unfortunately Rodukjo cares nothing for the hard-won gifts that Dianese seeks to bargain with. Struck by the beauty and the sharp mind of the beautiful emperor, Rodukjo demands a promise of another kind.

And so the real story begins. Subsequent events reveal a wonderful fantasy story that is light, playful, and deeply rooted in erotica. The story is a real charmer with lovely descriptive writing that colors a beautifully turned out world that had the artist in me yearning to illustrate. The sex scenes are smoking hot, varied, and not overly frequent, but well balanced with this witty and tantalizing tale. I highly recommend this book for all lovers of Yaoi, male/male romance, erotica, and fantasy… its it’s perfectly wonderful!

Thank you, Yamila Abraham, for gifting readers with this lovely full-length story… it’s truly magical!

“Romantic, Ethereal, Sensual = Hmm, Hmm Good!”
