Prologue

Ciel Phantomhive's life was never meant to be easy. The fire that killed his parents was only the beginning of his tragedy. When his apparently not-so-faithful butler vanishes for an entire year, Ciel is left to take care of himself and sort out his mixed feelings for the demon. He wants to hate Sebastian for leaving him alone, but at the same time. . .
The time apart has made him realize just how much he cares for his perfect butler.
When Sebastian finally returns to the young master's side, conflict is soon to follow. Where had Sebastian gone? Will the time apart bring them even closer, or will it tear them apart?
