Synopsis: Danse Diabolique

Synder Achlahayr knows what it’s like to live forever, as a peasant, as an artisan, as a king and leader.

Alruna Rutherford knows nothing beyond the castle walls, and only knows one path, her own. Trapped behind stone and soldier, she wants nothing more than to escape her life, spelled m-o-n-o-t-o-n-y.

Though he appears normal on the outside--the perfect royal, charming, polite, well-mannered--there are things about Synder that Alruna cannot even begin to fathom.

Secrets, threats, dark desires, a horror too great for words; a macabre song begins to play.

“Whatever you do, don’t stop dancing.”

A melody sweeter than wine that tastes bitter to the ear and sour to the tongue. A composition played by the devil himself: a devil’s dance, the devil’s dance, and Alruna finds herself caught up in the deadly waltz.

And when she decides she wants out from the life he gives her, she finds there's no escape.

“You stop, you die.”
