Demon from Pansy Lane: Pansy Lane Strays Book One

By Scarlett Noone

When an ancient demon gets accidentally summoned to a crumbling house on Pansy Lane, he expects the usual: terror, screaming, desperate wishes for wealth and power.

What he finds instead is far more intriguing. And so far out of his fiery comfort zone, it could well be in another dimention.

Azathar the Unmerciful has spent six hundred years granting wishes with devastating ironic consequences. He's destroyed kingdoms, ended bloodlines, and perfected the art of ruining lives with technically accurate wish fulfillment. He is very good at being a demon.

Then he gets summoned by someone who's mere existence challenges his world view.

Before he can escape, Arathar makes a bold wager: live as a human for thirty days. If afterwards he still thinks humans are worthless parasites, he wins. And since he is an immensly powerful being, losing to a human shouldn't even cross his mind...

Right?

What starts as a bet becomes a lesson in humanity, and a battle to save a hopeless community which suddenly feels more important than six centuries of demonic superiority.

A cozy urban fantasy about found family, and discovering that humanity isn't about being human-it's about showing up.
