Legend speaks of the tragedy that befell the Vitale Manor, of a girl with hair like gold and eyes like midnight, cursed into an enchanted sleep by a scorned fairy until her true love bestows their kiss upon her. 

Years pass, then decades. A century later, Narciso, a young nobleman, hunts down the myth in the hope of proving himself Lady Rosella's true love. 

But legends can lie. Even the most beautiful roses have thorns, and by the time Narciso realises that, it may be too late for him.
