And so begins their epic journey in search of clues to break the young prince's curse.

Seitdem verwandelt er sich immer wieder in eine dämonische Bestie. Unter seinem Fluch leidend beschließt er schließlich, sein Reich zu verlassen und nach einem Weg zu suchen, sein Schicksal zu ändern. Dazu begibt er sich zum Hexenmeister Halvir, kurz Havi genannt, der sich bereit erklärt, ihm zu helfen. Noch in derselben Nacht findet Havi heraus, dass Vald sich im Schlaf in eine schöne Bestie voller sexueller Begierde verwandelt ...

Noch immer lastet der Fluch auf Prinz Vald. Und als dieser einem kleinen Dorf zu Hilfe eilt, das von den Dämonen des Teufelsklans angegriffen wird, geht erneut die Bestie mit ihm durch. Mit Küssen versucht Havi, ihn zu beruhigen, doch angewidert stößt Prinz Vald Havi von sich. Und während sich Vald zwischen seiner Empörung und seiner Lust hin- und hergerissen fühlt, ist Havi davon überzeugt, dass sich hinter dem Teufelsklan eine größere und gefährlichere Macht verbirgt!
