In the fractured kingdom of Orindale, beauty is revered, purity is a forgotten ideal, and the cursed roam the shadows. Isabella, a compassionate healer from a humble village, lives an unassuming life until a strange dream calls her to the edge of the forbidden Darkthorn Forest—a realm shrouded in myth and fear. There, she discovers the Beasts, monstrous creatures banished from humanity, whose cursed forms conceal the shattered remnants of their society. Among them is Kael, a brooding and reluctant leader with a past as tragic as it is mysterious. Bound by fate, Isabella and Kael must navigate a perilous path filled with betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption. As Isabella learns of a dark sorceress who cursed the beasts, she uncovers deeper truths about the kingdom’s corruption, the fragile line between light and darkness, and her destiny as the key to breaking the curse. But the cost of salvation maybe her own life. Guided by a cryptic priestess and aided by a cast of outcasts and rebels, Isabella’s journey takes her into the heart of a divided kingdom.

It explores the question: Can love and compassion heal even the most monstrous hearts? And can true beauty shine through even in the darkest of times? In this epic story of transformation and unity, Isabella and Kael’s bond will test the boundaries of forgiveness, challenge the allure of vengeance, and offer a vision of a world where light and shadow coexist in harmony.
