She already accepted her existence alone, trapped inside an ancient high tower, feared like a monster. But what if a wounded "magician" got lost inside her castle, changing her resigned life as a prisoner? *** While most women desired beauty, Kallaine Seraphina Verlas saw it as a curse.

However, it was strange that a lost wounded "magician" named Finn thought she was a beauty the moment he laid his eyes on her. Will this magician have the power to cure her curse or he's just going to be a helpless victim of it? Thanks, Aleeiah for the cover <3
