They speak his name in fearful whispers. Constantine. A fiendish king with dark sorcery and a horde of monsters at his command. He held the land of Lohengrin in the grip of terror until he was slain by brave King Artorius, but evil never stays vanquished for long.

Lady Ophelia, Artorius's betrothed, idealizes her husband-to-be for his heroic deeds even as she chafes under his strict expectations. She has no reason to doubt his victory over the villainous sorcerer until she encounters crimson eyes in the darkness. Taken against her will for the purpose of luring Artorius to his doom, Ophelia comes face to face with the King of the Monsters-a being everyone believed dead.

At first, Constantine is everything the stories describe: Arrogant. Cruel. Heartless. But all is not as it seems in Noctis Yuhl, his realm of magic and mist. The country lies in ruins with his people mysteriously turned to stone by a curse. And her captor claims her fiancé is responsible.

Unsure of what to believe, Ophelia must learn the truth about Noctis Yuhl and its enigmatic master. The more she uncovers and every step closer she gets to untangling the mystery behind the curse, the greater her risk of succumbing to the devilish king's wicked charm.
