*Eighteen years have passed since the abandoned war-torn village. Sebastian, the demon of impeccable taste, once cradled an infant he found amidst the ruins. For five years, he raised the child in human guise, a secret guardian. But hunger—a demon’s curse—forced his hand. To protect the child from his own predatory nature, he left them at a church, a sanctuary beyond his reach. Now, the Phantomhive manor echoes with his service to Ciel. The past is a ghost, but the question lingers in the shadows: Will the child he sacrificed his peace for ever find the demon who loved them enough to let go?*
