For years, Prince Jungkook has been trapped in a gilded cage, haunted by a single, terrifying nightmare: a great, chained Beast watching him with a knowing, hungry smile.
His dreams come true when King Taehyung arrives.
Taehyung is a cruel, absolute ruler whose justice is written in blood and fear. He is a predator in a crown, and to the gentle, sheltered Jungkook, he is the living embodiment of the monster from his dreams. When their paths cross, the King sees not a prince, but a prized possession destined for his control.
A single, fateful moment is enough to ignite the King's obsession.
Soon after, Jungkook finds himself violently dragged to a dark fortress-a new, inescapable prison built for the King's darkest desire. Every plea for freedom is met with terrifying, absolute dominance.
Jungkook fights for his life. Taehyung fights for his destiny-a destiny rooted in dark pacts and eternal obligation.
As the nightmares become an undeniable warning of a relentless future, Jungkook learns that some chains-the chains of a curse and fate-are impossible to break, not even by death.
"You are my destiny: a controlled destiny."
A terrifying dark romance where one man is determined to possess a soul, and the other is determined to escape a love that spans lifetimes.
Top Taehyung.
Bottom Jungkook.
