A dead princess. A masked monster. A kingdom built on stolen truths.
Fiona has spent her life hiding behind illusions, surviving the massacre that erased her royal bloodline from history. Captured and thrown into the dungeons of the very castle that once belonged to her family, she faces an impossible choice: complete a dangerous task or die as the last heir of a forgotten kingdom.
Her mission leads her to a mysterious prisoner locked away behind enchanted walls—a man feared as a monster, hidden behind a golden mask, and blamed for countless horrors. But the more Fiona learns about him, the more she begins to question everything she has been told. Beneath the lies, scars, and secrets lies a truth powerful enough to reshape a kingdom.
As deception unravels and forbidden feelings ignite, Fiona must decide whether to protect the identity that keeps her alive—or risk everything for the man everyone believes is beyond saving.
