In a kingdom suffocated by fear, children vanish without a trace-taken from their beds, from the streets, from their families' arms. Whispers spread of Pretiosa, a mysterious girl locked away in the depths of a cathedral, a child with immense and terrifying dark power. They say she feeds on the blood of children. They say she is the reason the land lives in terror.
But Pretiosa is never seen.
Instead, the people know the priest-the man who claims to control her. Clad in black and marked with a strange symbol, he and his army rule with cruelty, using her power to enforce a brutal dictatorship over the entire realm.
For years, no one dares to fight back.
Until one boy loses everything.
When his younger brother is taken, he becomes something the regime has never faced before: resistance. Five years later, he rises as the leader of a growing rebellion-strong, relentless, and dangerous. His goal is simple, burning, absolute:
Destroy the system.
End the terror.
Kill Pretiosa.
But as he draws closer to the truth, he begins to question everything he thought he knew about the Dark Queen... and whether she is truly the monster they believe her to be.
