A gripping and completely unique fairy tale about a girl who finds out what kind of power might be contained in a curse that makes her deadly to the touch...
As many tales start, there was and there wasn't a princess who was cursed to be toxic to the touch. However, it's more than simply a narrative for Soraya, who has spent her whole life hidden away from her family and protected only in her gardens.
Soraya has to make the decision to come out of the shadows for the first time as her twin brother's wedding day draws near. A demon in the dungeon below her has the information she seeks and the key to her release. Above her is a young guy whose eyes linger not with dread but with an awareness of the person she is behind the poison. He is not scared of her.
Soraya had assumed she understood her role in the universe, but when decisions she makes have unanticipated effects, she starts to wonder: is she a human or a demon? Monstrous or princess?
