Being betrothed to the heir of the Underworld isn't easy on a girl. Illaria loves fairy tales and spends most of her time entranced in books. When she finds herself fated to a beast of a boy, she feels she may have stepped into her own horror story. To ignore the strong pull of the dark entity, she throws herself deep into a quest to find answers about her parents. A music box in a far off land is said to hold the key to her mother's past, which will free her imprisoned father. Much to her dismay, she finds the one person she wishes to avoid is the one person she needs to get the things she wants most. Can Illaria find the man inside the monster or will she succumb to a sinister end?
