Join David and Sarah on their journey from lust to trust to bondage and maybe even a happy ending that for many of us is only a dream

Magic burns and demons roam the earth. Two hundred years ago the door to hell was opened and demons poured into the world. When Emma invited a beautiful stranger into her home, she sealed the fate of her family. That included sixteen-year-old Zero. He and his family were some of the first to fall prey to the new world order. With his undeniable will, Zero became the very thing that destroyed his family, a demon. He uses his new life and powers to hunt down other demons while he struggles between his humanity and damnation. Zero will have to overcome every obstacle in his way if he wants to meet The Great Demon Ban, the most powerful demons to live and monster who slaughtered his family, on equal terms. In the end, he will have to decide if he's a human playing the role of a demon. Or a demon desperately clinging to something he lost years ago. Tick Tock Ban, your time is up.
