What a pity it was that her serpent had come to ruin her.”

Party Ideas:
🎲 Games & Activities
👑 1. Crown or Curse? (A Royal Decision-Making Game)
- Guests take turns picking a card with a dilemma inspired by the book (e.g., “A rival kingdom offers an alliance, but at a cost. What do you do?”).
- The group votes on whether their choice is worthy of a crown (good leadership) or a curse (bad move).
- The player with the most “crown” votes at the end wins the title of “Ever King” or “Ever Queen.”
⚔️ 2. Royal Betrayal (Mafia-Style Game)
- Assign secret roles to guests: Loyal Subjects, Traitors, the Ever King, and the Captive Princess (Livia).
- The goal is to identify the traitors before they overthrow the kingdom!
- Use candles as “life” markers. When someone is “betrayed,” their candle is blown out.
📖 3. “Who Said It?” Book Quote Challenge
- Read dramatic lines from the book and challenge guests to guess who said it—Erik, Livia, or another character?
- Example: “Hate me, curse me, I cared little, so long as I was the first thought of her day and the last of her night.” (Answer: Erik)
💀 4. The Chasm’s Fate – Mystery Box Challenge
- Create a “Chasm Box” with slips of paper inside.
- Each guest pulls a slip to reveal their fate—some good, some bad! (Example: You were captured by Erik—serve him a drink! or You’ve been granted royal favor—choose a guest to dance with!)

🍷 Drinks:
- “King’s Blood” Mulled Wine or Berry Punch (dark red, warm & spiced).
