Chained to Pure

Condemned by God rather than destroyed, a Demon Lord is forced to accompany the purest soul ever born as punishment for his defiance. Amused by the irony, he is certain the boy’s innocence will shatter easily and that corruption will come naturally, allowing him to one day claim the child as his vessel. What he does not anticipate is a prodigy; an unnatural genius whose understanding of magic grows at an alarming pace, whose potential draws the attention of beings far older and far crueler, and whose future hints at the birth of something the world has never known, perhaps even the first Lord of Archmage's. As they move through a world steeped in cruelty, war, and temptation, the question remains unresolved: will purity finally break under evil’s weight, or will the Demon Lord discover that some punishments are not as straightforward as it seems?
