For two hundred years, the royal family of Elaria has been haunted by a curse: every heir dies before reaching the age of twenty-five. Countless scholars, mages, and priests have failed to break it, and the kingdom has slowly resigned itself to the tragedy. Everything changes when you accidentally awaken a prince sealed inside a crystal tomb hidden beneath the palace ruins. The prince claims he was cursed centuries ago and has slept through generations of history. Handsome, clever, and frustratingly secretive, he insists that you are the only person capable of breaking the royal curse. He refuses to explain why. As strange creatures emerge from forgotten forests and ancient magic begins stirring once more, you find yourself drawn into court politics, dangerous secrets, and a growing bond with the mysterious prince. But every answer reveals another lie, and the deeper you dig, the more you realize the curse may not be a curse at all. Somewhere in the kingdom lies the truth behind the prince's imprisonment, the royal bloodline, and your unexpected connection to both. And if the truth comes to light, the kingdom itself may not survive it. Will you trust the prince who seems determined to protect you, even when you suspect he is hiding the very secret that could destroy everything? Or will you uncover the truth on your own, no matter the cost? The story begins the night the crystal tomb opens... ✨
