Blurb/Synopsis:
Two sisters. One mysterious invitation. A kingdom cloaked in secrets.
Vivian never believed in fairy tales—especially not ones that began with royal scrolls and enchanted balls. But when an unexpected invitation arrives from the reclusive King of Elyndor, she and her bright-hearted sister Lily are swept into a world of opulence, shadows, and ancient magic.
The king is as dangerous as he is captivating—sharp-tongued, enigmatic, and clearly drawn to Vivian’s defiance. Yet behind his mocking smiles lies a man with secrets just as dark as the kingdom he rules. As whispers of war stir beyond the castle walls and guests from other realms arrive with powers that defy reason, Vivian finds herself entangled in something far more sinister than a royal gathering.
There’s something buried in her blood—something others would kill to uncover.
But in a palace of monsters and masks, who is truly the hunter… and who is the prey?
