When the isolated kingdom of Orienne is swept by rumors of invisible monsters and brutal killings, Queen Hildegard orders every villager to seek refuge within the royal castle.
But safety is a lie.
Once the gates close, the women learn the truth: the men and children have been separated... and never return. Commander Ingrith seizes control, ruling through terror and manipulating fear of the monsters outside to keep the women obedient and trapped.
Among them are rebels, survivors, and outcasts:
Yvette, a quick-witted performer hiding a dangerous spark of defiance.
Colette, a gentle animal-lover whose narcolepsy masks deep resilience.
Odysa, fierce, sharp-tongued, and unbroken despite her paralyzed leg.
Rowena, a streetwise pickpocket willing to betray anyone-until loyalty ruins her.
Freya, deaf, determined, and willing to walk into the jaws of monsters to honor her loved ones.
Marsily, brilliant and haunted, fighting visions only she can see.
As the castle descends into chaos and the monsters rise to claim their due, the women of Orienne must choose: remain in the ruins of their prison, or risk everything for a future built from courage instead of fear.
