Daughter of the Dark (Daughters of Auquis #1) (Pre-Order September 16th 2026)

Daughter of the Dark (Daughters of Auquis #1) by R.J. Valdeperas (Pre-Order September 16th 2026)

From the flesh of a fallen god, a demon slayer rises.

Welcome to The Royal Demon Slayer, R.J. Valldeperas’s adult romantasy debut, where ancient curses, deadly demons, forbidden attraction, and revolution collide.

Supay is cursed with eternal death. Because of the greed of their god, its people are doomed to live twice—as humans and then again as muki, monstrous beings trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth.

For Solana, survival means staying sharp, staying ruthless, and, above all, staying alone.

Armed with nothing but a blood-forged dagger, she has become Supay’s fiercest demon slayer, freeing the souls of the cursed even as she remains bound by a duty she never chose.

Then fate offers her something she has always wanted: freedom.

When Solana is named Royal Demon Hunter, she finally sees a way out of the life that has held her captive. But her new position brings her closer to the darkness threatening Supay—and to a power that seems to call specifically to her soul.

Worse, she finds herself drawn to a man who should be her enemy.

As old loyalties collide with new alliances and the line between destiny and destruction begins to blur, Solana must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for the freedom she has spent her entire life fighting for.

Will she choose fate and freedom?

Or embrace death, destruction... and revolution?

The Royal Demon Slayer is a dark and immersive adult romantasy filled with demon hunters, forbidden romance, deadly magic, mythology, political intrigue, and a heroine caught between the life she knows and the revolution waiting to begin.
