She came to steal a crown.
She awakened a curse.
Lyra Vale is a thief with nothing left to lose-and everything to prove. When she breaks into a cursed royal castle to claim a legendary crown, she expects gold, danger... maybe death.
She does not expect the crown to choose her.
The moment it binds to her head, the castle awakens-sealing every exit, unleashing ancient horrors, and twisting into a living labyrinth determined to keep her forever. Trapped inside with shifting walls, monstrous creatures, and a curse that whispers her name, survival becomes a game she may not win.
Then she meets him.
Joji is dangerous, powerful... and hiding secrets as dark as the castle itself. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their fight for escape turns into something far more complicated-something charged, addictive, and impossible to ignore.
But the deeper they go, the more the castle reveals its truth:
The crown doesn't just want to be worn.
It wants a queen.
And it will tear them apart-or bind them together-to get one.
Now Lyra must decide:
Escape the castle... or claim the power that could destroy her.
Because some curses don't trap you.
They choose you.
