About This Story

In the kingdom of Aethelgard, the sun is nothing more than a fading memory, and the air itself is a weapon. You have spent your life surviving the eternal, soul-chilling winter that has gripped the land for generations. But destiny has a different plan for you in LUMINOUS, a breathtaking interactive fantasy romance. Prince Alaric, the kingdom’s last hope, is the sole guardian of the Sun-Core—a flickering relic of ancient magic that is the only thing standing between the world and total darkness. However, the Core’s power comes at a devastating price: Alaric is slowly turning to ice from the inside out, his heart hardening into a glacier that threatens to shatter his humanity. When a chance encounter brings you face-to-face with the 'Frozen Prince,' a single touch changes everything. Where others feel only a lethal chill, you feel a spark of life. Your presence is the only thing that can stop the frost from consuming Alaric’s heart, making you the most vital person in the kingdom—and the most targeted. This is an inspiring journey that blends historical grandeur with high-stakes magic, where your loyalty will be tested by courtly drama and ancient secrets.
