A cursed queen. A sentient castle. A slow-burn fantasy where survival is the fiercest kind of romance.

Seven years ago, Queen Améliane Morvenne was betrayed. Her kingdom stolen. Her court imprisoned. Her body cursed to shift. Trapped inside Eldrenoire-a magical, gilded prison hidden by mist-she became more myth than monarch. But memory is rebellion, and some names refuse to be forgotten.

When a hunted fugitive stumbles through the castle's gate, he carries with him a truth powerful enough to unravel the curse-or doom them all. As forgotten magic stirs and dangerous secrets rise, Améliane must lead her cursed court through a gauntlet of grief, love, and impossible choices.

But escape demands more than bravery.

The gate opens only for those willing to face the mirror-and survive what they see.

Eldrenoire is a gothic romantic fantasy inspired by the French fairytale The White Cat by Madame d'Aulnoy. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, atmospheric magic, and morally complex queens.

The court was cursed.

The queen was caged.

But neither were broken.
