Where roses bleed

In a kingdom where love is proven by survival, Alessandra Da Ville refuses to become the next sacrifice.

For generations, women have been forced to jump from a cliff to prove their purity-if they survive, they are worthy. If they don't... they are simply forgotten, blamed for their own death, because they were unpure.

When the fall becomes impossible to survive and her own sister dies, Alessandra realizes the truth: this tradition was never about love... it was about control.

After years of being locked away, she escapes-only to stumble into something far worse.

Hidden beyond the kingdom lies a forbidden garden, home to one of the Six Cursed Crowns-ancient beings capable of granting impossible desires... at a cost.

When Alessandra accidentally breaks the curse of a stone-bound figure, she unleashes something she doesn't understand and makes a deal she can't take back.

She only wanted freedom, instead, she becomes part of a deadly game.

To repay her debt, Alessandra is forced into a world where illusions blur with reality, where gods manipulate lives like pieces on a board, and where every choice has consequences-often paid in someone else's blood.

As the games begin, one truth becomes harder to ignore: The more you fear something, the more real it becomes.

And in a world where nothing can be trusted-not even your own mind, Alessandra must decide how far she's willing to go to survive... and how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process.

Because some stories don't end in love, they end in ruin.
