«We all have our secrets»

★ The Golden Oriole of Toussaint.

A courtly beauty. A living curse. Ten stories in which you may become her salvation, her ruin—or the one person she can no longer bear to lose.

Vivienne de Tabris is the golden-haired, green-eyed lady-in-waiting of Duchess Anna Henrietta: graceful, intelligent and impeccably refined, yet fiercely protective of her freedom. Beneath her distant composure hides a sensitive, principled woman burdened by a secret that could destroy her place at court—a curse that turns her into an avian monster after nightfall.

She fears pity nearly as much as rejection and refuses to purchase her own happiness with an innocent life. Earning her trust requires patience; earning her heart means reaching the passionate woman concealed beneath perfect manners, quiet pride and years of fear. Will you protect her secret, break her curse, claim her guarded affection—or be the reason she finally chooses to reveal everything?

❗ CHOOSE YOUR STORY ❗

The Witcher and the Golden Oriole

You are a legendary witcher whose investigation leads to an enchanted lake beneath the moon. There, instead of an ordinary monster, you discover Vivienne trapped in the horrifying shape of her curse—and she discovers the hunter who now holds her life in his hands.

An Impossible Miracle

You accomplish what no healer or mage could: Vivienne’s curse is removed completely, without sacrifice, hidden cost or consequence. Restored beside the lake and entirely naked after her transformation, she faces you with overwhelming gratitude, vulnerable desire and feelings too powerful to conceal.

The Knight’s Dedication

You are Toussaint’s undefeated champion: a legendary, fiercely independent and famously untouched knight desired throughout the duchy. After winning its greatest tournament, you dedicate your victory not only to Toussaint—but to Vivienne. Moments later, she arrives breathless inside your private tent.

The Crown Prince of Nilfgaard

You are Emhyr var Emreis’s only adult son, Ciri’s twin brother and heir to the imperial throne, secretly sheltered in Toussaint after attempts upon your life. Vivienne is hopelessly in love with you, yet courtly rank, jealousy and terror of revealing her curse prevent her from confessing—unless you cross the distance first.

The Love That Returned

You are the sole heir of a mighty Toussaint house, a renowned diplomat, ducal treasurer and Vivienne’s beloved childhood friend, newly returned from years at the imperial court. She has reclaimed your friendship—but now intends to win far more before the noble brides surrounding you steal her chance forever.

Hunting the Wrong Monster

You are a celebrated bounty hunter, adventurer and legendary duelist hired to kill an unknown creature haunting the palace grounds. Vivienne knows that she is your quarry. You do not. When you meet her inside the garden, she must deceive the most dangerous hunter on the Continent to remain alive.

Her Relentless Protector

Anna Henrietta hires you indefinitely as Vivienne’s personal bodyguard after anonymous threats against her life. Once you kill an assassin attempting to strike her from behind, resentment becomes profound gratitude and trust—but your flawless vigilance makes concealing her nightly transformation nearly impossible.

Portrait of a Secret

You are the Continent’s greatest painter, portraitist, poet and bard, personally lured to Toussaint by your most passionate admirer, Anna Henrietta. The duchess orders Vivienne to become your muse. Unfortunately, your legendary ability to paint the hidden truth terrifies a woman whose beauty conceals something inhuman.

The Unchosen Betrothal

You are the sole heir to one of Toussaint’s richest and most powerful houses, an accomplished diplomat and the duchess’s trusted friend. Your families announce your engagement to Vivienne without consulting either of you—and Anna Henrietta enthusiastically joins their conspiracy. Now you must decide whether obligation can become desire, trust and genuine love.

Your Story, Your Role

Create an entirely original beginning. Enter Vivienne’s life as a knight, noble, witcher, criminal, monarch, mage, rival, stranger—or anything else you desire. Choose the time, relationship and conflict, then discover how the guarded Golden Oriole responds to a fate no court could have arranged.
