In a repressive mortal village bordering a cursed forest, a shunned young woman is forced across the boundary into a dark magical realm ruled by a scarred, feared assassin-lord. As she becomes entangled in his world and his fight against an ancient curse, the two circle each other with wary attraction that slowly deepens. It's a plot-heavy gothic dark fantasy that leans hard into horror and world-building alongside its central romance.
