With your life temporarily spared by an agreement to become their “Fairytale Keeper,” you’ll have to tread carefully as you work alongside the nine sinister yet gorgeous villains. After all, fairytale villains never get their happy endings…and the dark and twisted path you take with him might just drive you mad…”
