Soraya is a cursed princess. Poisonous, any living creature she touches will die. She's spent her whole life locked away in her castle, while her mother and twin brother travel across the kingdom. But this year, when her family returns to the castle, they bring the promise of change. Soraya's brother will be getting married soon. Not only that, but they caught a demon on their travels, and she's now locked away in the dungeon. If Soraya can meet with the demon, she may learn how to break her curse...
This is a wholly original story, crafted like a fairy tale and pulling inspiration from Persian folklore, and it is absolutely worth the read. The story twisted and turned, crushing my predictions and wrapping up in a perfectly satisfying ending.
