The Cursed Maid of the Duke’s Castle

Lia is cursed after rescuing an old man from being beaten, and she has one year to break the curse before it kills her. While searching for clues, she learns that escaping it requires staying close to the cold, cruel Duke whose presence offers the only way to lift it. Lia becomes a servant in the Duke’s palace to get near him, but he treats her as though she is a murderer and keeps her under close watch. As she tries to draw closer to him and end her curse, she awakens a different curse: the Duke’s growing obsession with her.
