Taken in by a man to save her from death, Katirina thought she'd have it easy, somebody to finally care about her; but the cursed, the unfortunate ones don't get a happily ever after. His world is cruel, and he is the iron fist binding all its people. She was only eight, she had no idea what devil-made deal she was accepting when she took his hand. Casimir has never known a world outside bloodshed and the daily struggle to survive. He has always known what he was capable of and his purpose. He was born and raised for his position, besides the man holding this world beneath his iron fist. One who's never lived this life and another who's entire purpose was to serve... one finding love, another learning to love, both twisted, both risking everything to achieve a happy ending. Will their ending end in a heartbreaking disaster? Or will they finally be at peace with their inner selves and learn to love one another and to live life as it was handed to them?

On one horrible night, Selene loses her dream and is thrown into an unfamiliar world against her will. With a bounty on her head and memories resurfacing, she must navigate this new world.
