A Dangerous Game with a Demon

The debut of the bright, memorable author Ely Rin is a story about choice, demons within and around us, and how important it is to set priorities correctly. A vivid, relatable story for all readers!
My friends always called me “a blue stocking.” I was the studious, dull one who needed only textbooks and good grades—and I wasn’t really interested in guys at all. And then, on the very first day of summer, a suitor appeared out of nowhere. He is rich, handsome, generous—just perfect, and it seems like all my dreams will come true with him.

But there is one “but.” A deck of cards falls into my hands, and there’s something strange, dangerous magic coming off it. They say that with this deck you can summon a real demon… But how could my man be that very demon? Or maybe he can?..

What lies ahead for the heroine is temptation through beauty, music, power, danger, and even sweet treats. There are exactly five demons in the book: they come from completely different mythologies and cultures, but each one is, in his own way, wildly attractive. The plot, with an interesting detective thread connected to the investigation of a mysterious artifact—the card deck—also tells of the search for your true self. No templates and no limits imposed by society or by human history.
