Goodreads Synopsis:

A cursed prince turns into a raging demon whose lust can only be calmed by the skillful hands of one powerful sorcerer!

Prince Vald is struck by a curse that turns him into a demon! He seeks out a powerful sorcerer named Halvir to help break the curse, and the two go on an epic journey full of danger—and lust—in search of clues to break the young prince’s curse!

Vald finally discovers the one responsible for placing the curse upon his sword, Yug Verlind, and it’s none other than court mage Limris?! Shocked and confused, Vald is then faced with his greatest threat yet as the immensely powerful sorcerer Asterdol wrenches his soul out of his body. His demon half, now in complete control, goes on a rampage, and Vald faces the real possibility of losing his soul forever!

Review:

It has been such a long time since the previous volume, and I expect it will be again till the next one, so that it's very easy to forget the intricacies of the plot and characters in this series. However, it is very easy to fall back into the main relationship.
Despite it being so long, jumping back in and being reminded of the struggles that Vald is facing was pretty fun. And now made more complicated, as the two sides of himself are forced apart in a much more literal way.
Of course, this leads to some pretty steamy scenes here, unintentional on the villains part. Both sides of Vald want Halvir, so it's no surprise that he's able to have his way with him. Still, it doesn't look like things are getting less complicated any time soon.
I'd definitely forgotten where the plot was at in this series, though I was surprised how easy it was to get back into it; I was excited to get a new volume nonetheless. And I will still definitely be picking up the next one, whenever it gets released.
