A dark, gothic reimagining of Beauty and the Beast in which a grieving young woman named Amarrah volunteers to live in a cursed keep in her starving village's place, expecting to face a monster. Instead she finds Njål, a lonely, cursed being trapped by an ancient evil, and the two slowly build trust and intimacy as they unravel the keep's secrets together. It's a moody, atmospheric fairy-tale retelling with Norse-tinged worldbuilding, talking goats, and a central romance built on consent and care rather than fear.
