The Demon's Prince

An epic fantasy romp in graphic form channels a love story for the ages – alive with revenge, princes and the paranormal

For the past 250 years, Langya has been seventeen years old—and dead—his spirit imprisoned as one of the Five Demons after being murdered by the heartless crown prince he was sworn to protect. Until fulfilling their previous life’s purpose, the Five Demons exist at the beck and call of shamans, who conjure them at will to dispense wishes and hexes to mortals. Trapped by the rules that bind him, Langya must complete one final, staggering task before he can move on to a peaceful afterlife: pose as an ordinary high schooler and induce the same heartless prince who killed him, now reincarnated as a much-sought-after prom date, to fall in love. All paranormal exchanges come at a price. How much is Langya willing to sacrifice . . . this time? In a seamless collaboration between award-winning graphic novelist Remy Lai and debut illustrator Lauren Dimaya, this high-test paranormal romance is stitched through with vivid mythology and breathless adventure.
