    Something evil is lurking in the castle...
        
        **
        
        Annalise Cidarius is trapped in a tower, cursed by a handsome king that is both her greatest enemy and her first love: Ryne Delafort. As Anna struggles to free herself, Ryne battles against his growing sickness and prepares for his upcoming nuptials - all whilst fighting his feelings for the one girl that he can never have.
        
        But when Ryne's vicious cousin Eris arrives at court to make a play for the crown, the court is thrown into upheaval. As men take sides and ballrooms become battlefields, Anna and Ryne begin to realize that something else is afoot. And it's coming from the mysterious locked room upstairs...
