About
Death, paradise, and the gods themselves-all rejected for the sake of love.
When King James Kronenscheld dies at the hands of the Demon King, he thinks his suffering is finally over and that he can join his Edwin in paradise. And, hey, at least he'd taken the Demon King with him, right?
But then the gods try to send James to paradise without his Edwin, and that is simply unfathomable. So he does the unthinkable-he turns it down and negotiates for one more chance to fix his mistakes.
Armed with memories and regrets, James regresses to before he was crowned. He is determined to woo the man he lost, even if it means facing down all his previous failures. For Edwin alone will James face wraths and plagues, court politics, and demon kings. He will avoid the horrors of the crown and attain paradise for them both.
Failing this time means losing Edwin forever. And that is not an option.
