PROLOGUE:

There is nothing better than being ordinary.

You can smell the flowers, touch them, feel them. You can bask in the sunshine. You can walk on green grass. You can see yourself in the looking glass.

And...

You can fall in love without being the reason for anyone's death.

But I was no ordinary man.

A cursed crown prince who lives a fateful life. He who has everything a man can wish but owns nothing. Who can have anything his heart desires but not her.

She is my dream—the one I cannot fulfil.

My greed to execute the dream has risked her life.

My selfishness has destroyed what I value most. Her!

We are captured and deceived by time, which has become our greatest enemy. We are struck by a spell which has bound us together.

No witch has cast any spell.

I was born with a curse that runs in my bloodline. It has stolen my past, tortured my present and changed my future.
