Thirteen years after the cataclysmic war that nearly destroyed everything she knew, Kierse finds herself drawn into a dangerous game that challenges the very fabric of her reality.

Breaking the fragile truce established by the Monster Treaty, Kierse ventures into the forbidden territory of the Holly Library, unaware of its inhabitant—a creature both charming and terrifying. Despite her fear, Kierse is compelled by curiosity and the promise of untold riches.

Encountering the enigmatic creature within, Kierse is captivated by his allure and unnerved by his power. Yet, as she engages in a perilous bargain, she realizes that she may have underestimated the stakes involved.

The creature, cunning and ancient, sees potential in Kierse's skills and offers her a dangerous proposition. In exchange for her freedom and expertise, they will embark on a journey fraught with peril and uncertainty, where the line between ally and adversary blurs.

As Kierse delves deeper into this treacherous alliance, she discovers that the creature has been playing a high-stakes game across centuries, manipulating events and destinies with calculated precision. With each step she takes, Kierse becomes further entangled in a web of deceit and danger, where escape seems increasingly elusive.

In a world where darkness lurks at every turn, Kierse must confront her own fears and desires as she navigates the perilous path laid out before her, knowing that the consequences of her choices may alter the course of history itself. 📚❤️
