Story
Aurora, a witch, is left mute after her sister poisons her, and she is offered as a sacrifice in Blackstone Forest. The beast waiting there is not what it seems: it is Xavier, a true prince who was betrayed. Her voice is gone, but a holy light awakens inside her, and she binds the beast to herself with a soul pact. Now they set out for the capital with revenge in mind.
