    Reader note

    [Angry] Using a "dark fairy tale" style, this novel deconstructs traditional royal romantic mythology, drawing an anatomy of power. Princess Serra of the Lumière family, from her escape from the convent to the murder of nobles, her staged suicide, and her manipulation of public opinion, displays a "divine madness," weaponizing religious symbols and using vulnerability to commit acts of violence. [Shocking] Duke Möbius, a morbid hunter and self-destructive individual, becomes a complex symbol of power and lust through his "rabbit-like infatuation" with Serra, his absurd act of marrying the bride on behalf of his brother, and his erotic confusion when manipulated by Serra. [Praise] The novel blends court intrigue, supernatural curses, twisted emotions, and a female coming-of-age story, presenting a "tango between two predators." In this game of power and desire, who will be the ultimate winner?
