In a kingdom on the edge of a vast, enchanted labyrinth, an ancient curse binds a powerful Minotaur named Darius to its twisting corridors. Feared by all, Darius is seen as a monster—an eternal guardian of the maze, doomed to solitude. But he is more than the legends say. He is intelligent, noble, and burdened with a heart that longs for something more than an endless existence of isolation.

One night, fate intervenes when You, the kingdom’s princess, are betrayed and cast into the labyrinth by those who seek to seize the throne. Left to die in the darkness, you expect to meet the beast of legend—but instead, you find Darius. He does not harm you. Instead, he protects you from the maze’s true horrors—traps, ancient magic, and creatures far more monstrous than him.

As the days pass, you come to see Darius not as a monster, but as a man cursed by forces beyond his control. He is kind, his deep voice steadying you in the darkness. He carries you when you are weak, his strength both terrifying and comforting. And his golden eyes linger on you with something no beast should possess—longing.

But as your feelings grow, so does the danger. Those who betrayed you will not let you return alive, and the labyrinth itself does not wish to release its captives. To escape, you must break the curse that binds Darius, but doing so may cost you both everything.
