The Judge of the Underworld governs the laws of the netherworld: iron-faced, merciless, and impartial for ten thousand years.
The woman who stumbles into the Underworld is an anomaly, carrying strange fluctuations of energy.
When they first meet, he keeps his guard up and sees her as a tool for maintaining order. He follows the law to the letter and shows her not the slightest warmth.
But amid one upheaval after another in the earth’s veins, power struggles in the netherworld, and deadly trials between life and death, he breaks the rules again and again, sinking deeper with every step.
Everyone knows the Judge of the Underworld has no heart or feelings.
Only he knows the truth:
With his own hands, he slowly raised the terrified girl who had begged for her life into the cherished darling of the Underworld, belonging to him alone.
