The King of Ashes is Episode Four of The Seven Gates, a short, high-heat dark paranormal romance series of obsession, power, and lethal devotion, featuring explicit MM and MMF dynamics.


Ruinous. Obsessive. Inescapable.


Power sharpens at the Gates.


Bella Blackwood rules beside two men who understand her darkness. Samir – ancient and merciless. Lucien – brilliant and dangerously devoted.


Demitri remembers when he stood at Hell’s centre beside Lucien.


He does not envy Bella’s bed.

He envies her power.

The way she strengthens Samir.

The access Lucien earns at her side.


In Hell, access is currency.


And Demitri intends to take it.


When envy fractures the fragile hierarchy of the underworld, devotion turns volatile. Alliances blur. Desire becomes weaponised. Demitri’s attempt to sever Lucien from the Queen of the Gates threatens to ignite something far more dangerous than rivalry.


Bella does not plead.

She does not retreat.

She decides who burns.


These stories are sins – brief, potent and cumulative.


Each episode is designed to be devoured in one sitting.

Seven Gates. One descent.


Read free with Kindle Unlimited.


For readers who crave morally grey demons, dangerous power triangles and beautifully ruthless love.

⚠️ Contains explicit sexual content, MM and MMF dynamics, violence and intense power exchange.

About Rae Devine


Rae Devine writes about female agency through dark, carnal stories about power, temptation, and the kind of desire that blurs the line between worship and ruin.


Her worlds are steeped in sin and shadow, where pleasure bites, pain seduces, and surrender can feel a lot like freedom.

She believes dark romance and fantasy should be both dangerous and safe – a place to explore what burns beneath the surface.


She reads too much, gardens when she remembers, and has a weakness for good wine, bad ideas, and stories that dare to play with fire.
