   Summary

   Note: Editing some earlier chapters to build depth and prep for new content.

    

   A dark reimagining of a tale as old as time—blended with the world of Dragon Quest Builders.

   Cursed by betrayal and bound to the ruins of Moonbrooke, the once-proud King Malroth lives in isolation, his kingdom shrouded in despair. But everything changes when a fearless young builder washes ashore, searching for the father she lost—and awakening something long buried within the Beast.

   This is Beauty and the Beast retold through shadow, ruin, and redemption.

   Mature themes ahead—you’ve been warned.

   DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of these beloved characters, nor do I claim ownership of Dragon Quest or Beauty and the Beast.
