The Dawn of Ocaña

He finds love under the mountain, but will their connection lead to doom and destruction?

Edmond Rizza is the Prince of Vale. But that doesn't mean he has it easy. His father is a stern taskmaster, and insists his only son learn everything about their kingdom, including how to wrestle the valuable riches out of the mountain. Toiling alone one night in the mines, eager to please his father, he is surprised when a daemon woman slips out of the darkness and steals his heart and soul.

He is spellbound, but after she disappears again, he is left wondering if it was all a dream. Now, he is betrothed to a rich trader's daughter, from a neighboring kingdom. She's beautiful, but he can't put the mysterious woman who appeared to him in the mines out of his head. And when she comes to him again, he knows he is firmly under her spell, and will do anything she demands.

Can he persuade the daemon of the mountain to reveal herself and be his queen, or will she be doomed to wander the fog below, alone forever more with only monsters for company?
