Crimson Spell (Vol. 2) - Ayano Yamane

In Crimson Spell Vol. 2, the uneasy alliance between Prince Valdrigr and sorcerer Halvir grows more complicated as their journey continues. As Val’s cursed form wreaks havoc during the night, Halvir’s secret methods of subduing him—both magical and intimate—become harder to hide and even harder to resist. But with their feelings slowly surfacing, danger lurks not only in dark forests and monstrous beasts, but also in the truth they both avoid.

Ayano Yamane deepens the emotional tension and ups the stakes in this steamy and gorgeously illustrated volume. As the pair face fierce enemies and their own inner demons, their bond becomes more than survival—it teeters toward obsession, desire, and something even more dangerous: love.
