Description

A rich and captivating narrative

Daphné's life has reached a crossroads. The inheritance of her secluded ancestral estate deep in rural France comes with more than stone walls and old memories — it brings with it a bitter, long-standing rivalry between her family, the Delatours, and the powerful Malterre clan. As if that weren't enough, Frank — the man who once shared in the grief of a child they never got to raise — has returned, hoping to mend what was broken. Meanwhile, a persistent new admirer vies for her attention, her career as a middle school teacher demands her focus, whispers of witchcraft follow her through town, and at the heart of her castle stands a mysterious, sealed-off tower that holds secrets of its own.

Will you embrace the world of magick, or cling firmly to reason and logic?

  • Seek vengeance for your family's honor, or choose to let old wounds finally heal.

I got this for free and I thought it was alright. It was a pretty simple story that takes about 6-8 hours to read depending on how fast you read. The art between scene transitions is beautiful, but it's kind of funny

Interesting story, as usual for Nova-box. A good ol' classic Choose Your Own Adventure. I particularly enjoyed the soundtrack, which is mostly made up of calm piano music. However, for the love of God Nova-box, could
