Triselle is an educated peasant who would rather be alone than live a boring life. Her curiosity is piqued when she learns that Lord Vanir hasn't been seen in six months, nor have his men and servants. She decides to go to the castle to explore and finds herself unable to leave. Lord Vanir has been cursed and is a prisoner in his enchanted castle; can Triselle figure out how to free them?This isn't a terrible story, but there are things that nagged at me. The "enchantment" and the "curse" aren't really explored or explained. It's used as a millisecond excuse for why Triselle is willing to have sex with Vanir the second she sees him, even though he's supposed to be disgusting to look at. Vanir's character is... perfect. He conveniently does all his personality alterations before Triselle comes to the castle. This was kind of a letdown because there is no character growth to watch and revel in.I probably wouldn't recommend this, even though it isn't terrible, but because it doesn't really have anything special.
