In the kingdom of Braeburn, a realm once bathed in sunlight and soft laughter, a somber chill had taken hold. The moon rose over forlorn keeps and quiet cottages where secrets and curses whispered on the wind. In a lonely attic room, hidden behind dust-caked portraits and memories of a once-kind family, a young girl dreamed of escape from her miserable fate. For the girl known to most only as Cinderella, every day was a struggle, every moment a reminder of hurt and neglect. But within her brooding heart, hope flickered like a stubborn ember in a storm. Yet what fate did not reveal was that hope was about to be answered, not by the tender magic of a kindly fairy godmother, but by a creature whose name was steeped in sinister legend. In Braeburn, contracts were not always sealed with a gentle wink of starlight. Some bargains were forged in darkness, and bargains with such prices would echo through generations.
