Eiko survived her wedding, but that was only the beginning.

She may be married to a handsome prince. She may be a princess. She may live in a castle drenched in gold and sunlight, with beautiful gowns and unimaginable wealth, but this is far from a fairytale.

This is a story of monsters: those born from the dark, and those that flourish in the light.

Armed with only her wits and her walking cane, and precariously aligned with a man she despises, she must navigate a kingdom built on secrets and deception, where ally and enemy alike hide behind impeccable masks.

She must wrest the pen from those who try to set her future before the ink is wet, and endeavour to write this story herself.

And she declares that this is still not a love story.

It is her war-cry, her hymn, her song of shadows.

Let it be twisted enough to survive this world of monsters.
