The woods were my home-quiet, safe, and far from the reach of monsters. Until the day they came for me. Dragged from the only life I knew, I was taken to a castle ruled by King Vaelorn-a monster whispered to be more legend than man, feared even by his kind. They say his golden eyes can freeze the air, his wrath can level villages, and his cruelty has no equal. I swore I would keep my head down, stay invisible, and survive. But the closer I get to him, the more I feel his gaze burning through me, unraveling every ounce of fear I have left. He's dangerous. He's inhuman. And no matter how much I should run, something inside me keeps pulling me toward him... toward the one thing I fear most.
