"House of Salt and Sorrows"

The Chain of Salt Islands stretches across the Kalean Sea like a precious necklace.

Once, the Duke of the Salt Islands had twelve daughters. Now only eight remain.
It is said that the Favmant family is cursed and darkness takes the Duke's daughters one by one.

We were born of Salt, we live by Salt, and we return to Salt…

Annalie, the Duke's second daughter, knows she is in danger.
Troubled by ghostly visions, she suspects that the deaths of her sisters were not accidental. Every night, the girls slipped away to a lavish enchanted ball.

Perhaps a gloomy dragon-man who rules the ball is responsible for the girls' demise? Annalie must unravel his mystery before darkness devours her too.

Can the Daughter of Salt escape the evil fate?
