A dark, gothic "why choose" romance loosely inspired by The Hunchback of Notre Dame, following Romina, a young woman kept isolated in a bell tower by her guardian for most of her life. When three dangerous outsiders infiltrate the strict religious academy she's hidden in, they uncover her secret and pull her into their dangerous orbit. The story blends dystopian, cult-like religious world-building with an explicit reverse-harem romance as Romina begins to claim power over her own life. It is a standalone novel, not part of a series.
