When a witch disguised as a beggar comes to cruel Lord Caspian's home asking for charity, he brutally attacks her. Hell-bent on revenge, the witch turns Caspian into a beast, kills his wife, and turns his son into a wolf. The curse causes a century of snowfall and insurmountable death.
One hundred years later, when the Hershel men trespass on the Beast's property during a hunt, Lord Caspian captures and threatens to slaughter them for their crime.
Harlan Hershel offers his daughter Rosalind to the beast for a month to save his sons.
But reality and illusions blur when the Beast sees Rosalind. Believing she is the reincarnation of his wife, he becomes fiercely drawn to her.
Though terrified at first Rosalind grows fonder of the abominable lord and the cold surrounding his land. The closer she gets to the secrets he keeps, especially of the mysterious stranger in the violin room, the more he awakens a darkness in her she wants to explore.
When Rosalind's true calling is discovered, that she is the one prophesied to kill the lord, her desire for him threatens to destroy the person she once was, and all of Transylvania.

Prologue:
I woke up lying on a cold surface.
I can smell the sweetest scent of roses.
I can see lighted candles surrounding me in the dim light.
The shadow of the rumored creature, who was so desperate for his death, is nearing me.
In partial darkness, I can see his fiery red glimmering eyes and the sadness beneath it as well.
"My queen," a mellow voice, emanating from him, echoed through my ears, "and my end."
Could this be his final greetings?

Overview:
Vladmyr Kingdom, an estate of overflowing vengeance.
Yfel Kingdom, the worst of Vladmyr Kingdom's enemies, has been ruthlessly disrupting serenity in all of the country's kingdom over the century. It is led by the faceless, rumored inhumane, and most vicious ruler of the history. The past decades, however, has been strangely peaceful as the Yfel Kingdom lies low from unwielding battles.
What could have triggered its silence?
The heroine, a Vladmyr Kingdom trooper, only seeks to recollect her family which was dismantled by the war among the kingdoms. Little did she know, as soon as she steps inside the battlefield, she faces a dead end.
There shall be no escape, for her fate has been decided.
Persons, and 'paranormal' creatures, shall cross her path.
Impressions shall pop out in a snap.
Reality shall be revealed.
Her role has been written; a vital one that may either bring end to the catastrophe or further accelerate the annihilation of the kingdoms.
