In the kingdom of Aswen, dusk is a warning bell.

When the sun sets, the monsters in the forest emerge.

Some are beautiful. Some are beasts with claws and teeth. Some will sing, or call out in a familiar voice. When it comes to the monsterkin, the only certainty is danger. But as long as humans stay behind their walls and doors, they can peacefully coexist.

Rosnea has spent her life quietly keeping the kingdom steady. Mending tack, calming frightened horses, and holding her father together as his mind slips away. She’s not noble or beautiful. She’s just useful… which means she’s invisible to everyone except the prince she’s loved since childhood.

Then Prince Midas walks into the forest and offers the monsters a bargain.

By morning, everything he touches blooms into gold—bridges, cups, walls, a starving kingdom’s future. Prosperity surges through Aswen like sunlight after a long winter.

But bargains don’t come without a cost. Midas can’t always control his new gift, and the consequences threatens to ignite a war.

If Rosnea is going to stop a kingdom from turning to solid gold and save the man she loves, she may need to leave the safety of the stables… and step willingly into the forest.
