Synopsis

Every living soul in the Kingdom of Derchuen knows of the Legend of The Beast Of Death Grip Forest. A Beast unknown to their eyes, a ruthless, repulsing, horrifying, dangerous creature with a harrowing glare. A Beast which no one has ever encountered and lived to tell the tale. Legend has it the Beast was once a king, until his Kingdom was ravaged and he never found a queen, so he still searches the lands of Derchuen for an innocent maiden to capture and make his bride.

The night Princess Venia, first in line to the throne, is born, the king and queen of Derchuen are appalled and bewildered by her blazing, flaming, amethyst eyes, her hair is as dark as the night and she has a strange birthmark on the back of her neck. Thinking that their daughter is cursed, king Thorton and queen Nulika summon the best witch in the kingdom to investigate and the worst news possible is delivered to them: That their daughter bears the mark of the legendary Beast. That one day he will come for her in the dead of night and make her his queen. That he will always be watching her until she is at an age he desires. That she was chosen for her beauty, hence it must never been seen.

Born with the mark of the beast, Venia grows up in isolation, is never allowed to leave the palace at all or leave her quarters during day to avoid capture by the Beast. For many years of her life, she is a princess never seen by her people, only her mother and father and aunts know of her beauty. Because just like the witch had predicted, she had grown to be an extraordinarily beautiful young woman. Wary of this beauty, her parents do all in their might to keep her hidden, thinking that if the Beast grows unaware of her beauty, he'll lose interest and find another innocent girl to be his bride.

Treated like a dark secret her entire life, Venia's existence is miserable, she only hears tales of how other princesses live and longs to finally see the sun. When she turns twenty and learns that her younger brother has taken a bride, Venia gives up on the idea of ever living a normal life, of ever getting married and having a family- That is until, the witch rushes to the king and queen the night after Venia's twentieth birthday and claims she was mistaken, that the Beast has never been interested in their daughter and she can finally live her life like every other liberated princess.

Elated by the news, King Thorton quickly marries off his daughter to the prince of a neighbouring Kingdom. The day she is supposed to meet her future husband, Venia leaves the palace for the very first time, unbeknownst to her that the Beast is watching, waiting, looming in the shadows, getting ready to take what is rightfully his.

And nothing or no one will stand in his way.
