As Ash traverses a treacherous landscape where nothing is as it seems, she must face not only her deepest fears but also desires she never knew existed. One arrow, loosed from her bow, sets in motion a chain of events that plunges her into a deadly game of power, where each move could either crown her as queen or drag her into the abyss. In this world of deception, trust is a double-edged sword. The prince's true intentions remain cloaked in mystery, forcing Ash to decide who to trust as she teeters on the razor's edge between light and shadow.
