Description

In a Kingdom, bound by "Once Upon a Time," destiny isn't a promise—it's a prison.

For generations, the Great Archives have dictated the lives of every soul in the realm. The princess must sleep. The mermaid must weep. The girl in the red cloak must always be the prey. But the ink is beginning to fade, and twelve legends are about to do the unthinkable: they are reaching for the pen.

From a she who trades her glass slippers for a tailor's needle to a sleeping princess who wakes up to a world that no longer needs a throne or princess, the Unbound Kingdom weaves together twelve reimagined lives. As the old stories shatter, these heroes must navigate a landscape of steampunk cities, enchanted forests, and shifting politics to discover what happens after the "Happily Ever After" fails.

When the scripts are burned and the magic is broken, only one question remains: If you weren't who the story said you were, who would you become?
