F/N yearns for a life far beyond the narrow confines of the provincial town of Villeneuve. In a place where tradition reigns supreme and conformity is quietly expected, he is a figure apart-a young man whose unconventional perspective clashes with the rigid definitions of masculinity upheld by those around him. Fiercely independent and endlessly curious, F/N finds solace in books, immersing himself in tales of far-off lands, daring adventures, and romances that defy the ordinary. But the stories he treasures only deepen his hunger for more. He dreams of stepping beyond Villeneuve's dusty streets, of living a life as vibrant and boundless as the worlds he reads about.

Refusing to let his father suffer, F/N makes a fateful decision: he offers himself in his father's place, trading his freedom for the promise of his father's safety. Though he outwardly accepts his fate, his mind races with plans of escape, determined that this castle-no matter how frightful-will not be the end of his story. Yet, as the days turn to weeks, the mysteries of the castle and the Beast who inhabits it begin to unravel before him. There is more to this strange, enchanted place than meets the eye, and the Beast himself proves to be far more complex than F/N ever imagined.
