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

Prince Vald is a proper, honorable swordsman by day, and a sensual, insatiable demon by night. The only one to know both faces of the cursed prince is his traveling companion, the sorcerer Halvi. During the day the handsome sorcerer keeps an aloof façade, even as he sates the demon's desires nightly. However, Halvi finds he is starting to feel a deeper bond with the young prince. Meanwhile, enemies who want Vald for themselves are beginning to make their move.

However, in the midst of his search, Vald is captured by servants of the emperor. Fortunately for him, his capture brings an unexpected boon - the very sorcerer Vald is looking for comes straight to him!

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!

Wie eine Marionette an unsichtbaren Fäden vom Feind gezogen, wird Havi zu einem Kampf auf Leben und Tod gegen Vald gezwungen. Doch wird sich Havi wirklich gegen die Liebe seines Lebens stellen und Prinz Vald mit seinem Schwert durchbohren?
