Story Behind The Book
The year is 2499, the earth is now overrun by disease, war and poverty, reverting it back to third world status.
For the beautiful, flaming haired, Heidi Mira, life is a continuous battle for survival in this world filled with smoldering heat, grotesque plant and animal life and not enough food to feed the hungry.
Now mankind is at the mercy of a new kind of evil, an evil in the shape of the arrogant demon, Raebat, the ruler of the Kingdom of Bloodlust. With his minion of gargoyle-like demons, he has taken over the country side and continues to wreak havoc on the world, killing and enslaving all mortals, including Heidi’s own father, sister and grandfather.
Now forced to search for her beloved family, she risks everything to travel alone to the mysterious depths of the horrid Bloodlust Mountains to seek out her loved ones and so many that had mysteriously disappeared.
Heidi loses her venture with fate when she finds herself captured by the demon king and forced to slave in the bowels of Bloodlust.
It is then that Heidi befriends another slave by the name of Kevin.
Ever since he met Heidi, Kevin knew that the alluringly free-spirited woman was meant to be his, body and soul.
But danger and treachery await Heidi in Kevin’s dark world, where she’ll be caught between one man’s unbridled passion and her own ambitions.
Which will she choose, or will she live long enough to survive the rules of the Demon of Bloodlust?"
