Everyone knows the tale of the dreadful Beast King—a monster that demands a royal bride every year. No one knows what happens to them after the wedding. No one has ever returned.
Sophia? She was never supposed to be there.
Mistaken for the real princess, she was sent to him as a sacrificial bride. But instead of a beast with claws and blood-stained hands, she finds herself facing a dangerously handsome, arrogant, and incredibly irritating king. Instead of rejecting her outright, he makes her an offer:
Survive three royal trials, and you can leave. Fail? You stay here... forever.
But what if the king isn’t the one holding the chains?
What if his curse hides a secret no one must uncover?
And worst of all—what if Sophia starts regretting wanting to escape?
