Spice 1 of 5, four tropes and four content warnings. Spice, tropes and warnings show how sure we are.

A princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch has spent her life hidden away from her family, finding safety only in her gardens. As her twin brother's wedding nears, she weighs whether to leave the shadows. Drawn to a demon imprisoned in the dungeon who may hold the key to her freedom, and to a young man who sees her without fear, she makes choices that force her to question her own nature and identity.
