Every year, the kingdom of Elaria holds a grand ball. Gowns shimmer. Music swells. And only unmarried young women are invited.
To the outside world, it is a celebration of elegance and tradition.
But beneath the velvet and candlelight lies a chilling secret.
The ball is not just a courtship ritual-it is a test. A silent, hidden trial to determine which girls are fertile... and which are not.
Those who pass are swept into lives of luxury, courted by nobles eager to preserve their bloodlines.
Those who fail are never seen again.
