Loved by many,protected by guards, To the world, Angelise is a masterpiece. She is a beautiful, celestial being, and assumed to be completely untouchable. But behind closed doors, her existence is nothing but a constant cycle of crushing emptiness, self-hatred, and a lack of a will to live, she wears a playful act day by day, only to crash out in her room by night, violently tearing her world apart before using her magic to reset it all to pristine perfection. She hates her face, and is exhausted by the repetitive scripts everyone tells her about "knowing her worth."
To a predator, she is the ultimate prize. When the wealthy Oren enters her life, Angelise deliberately ignores his toxic interactions and aggressive red flags, desperate to believe his false affection makes her special. But Oren is a cold, calculating creature hunter backed by a multi-million-dollar black-market empire. Every gift he brings her,a crystalline flower, a tracking necklace, and luminescent glass shoes,a weapon designed to lower her guard, and fall into the trap. With the help of her friend Stormy and a helpful hand led by Altair,the Moon Prince who is the first person to ever see her pain, Angelise is rescued from the brink of despair. But the scars of betrayal run deep.
Two years later, as Angelise slowly tears down her walls alongside Altair, the past comes knocking at her balcony door. Someone comes to return his prize, expecting the same weak, compliant girl he left behind. But Angelise is no longer that same girl.
