ClayEight: The False Kingdom and the Phantom Princess

Synopsis

“We’re running away tonight.”

A shocking declaration from her father turns Hina’s world upside down.

At 18, in her third year of high school, Hina flees from mysterious men in black suits and arrives at Kanan, an island nation. Years ago, her father had abducted a bride during the royal “Dowry Ceremony” in this very kingdom.

Witnessing her father’s public execution, Hina finds herself at the center of a new ceremony—one that repeats after 18 years.

“Would you consent to becoming this nation’s princess?”

Caught in a web of conflicting interests and desires, Hina finds herself drawn closer to the one who supports her. Standing at a crossroads between duty and emotion, she dons a pure white dress and steps onto the grand stage.

What awaits this kingdom? And what answer will he offer?

Can you unravel the threads binding them all together?
