As they continue to cross paths, they becoming increasingly entangled by the inescapable threads of fate that keep drawing them together.

Meanwhile, a darker presence is growing in power in the Underworld and the boundaries between the physical world and the one beyond continue to grow thinner. As evil forces seek to exert their influence over the court, Bin and Eunho must work together to overpower them.

Where will their destined connection lead? Will they finally be able to break Bin's curse?
