Description

The Speràdo family guards a dangerous secret—shadow magic dormant for a century. When Marquis Speràdo attempts to sacrifice his daughter Leslie to fuel her favored sister Ellie's power, he inadvertently awakens the very darkness he sought to control. Desperate to flee her family's cruelty and manipulation, Leslie strikes a bargain with the Monstrous Duke: she'll become his adopted daughter and offer her newfound abilities in exchange for protection. But escape comes with its own price, and Leslie must navigate whether she can truly break free from her parents' grip or if their schemes will catch up with her.
