Royal Nightmare ~ The Scholar

She always wanted more than this provincial life. She should have been careful what she wished for.

Curiosity led The Scholar beyond the safety of everything she knew and into a castle where roses bleed, enchanted objects watch from the shadows, and the monster isn't always the one with claws.

Draped in the remnants of gold and surrounded by a storybook romance gone terribly wrong, she has learned that some curses aren't meant to be broken.

She wanted adventure. She found a nightmare.

Part of the Once Upon a Nightmare collection — where beloved fairy tales are dragged somewhere darker, and happily ever after is never guaranteed.

The Scholar is an original dark fairy-tale interpretation inspired by classic beauty-and-the-beast folklore.
