Elara Lysander is an ordinary woman navigating the monotony of adulthood. Her way to unwind from all the stress of bills and work? Reading. And her favorite novel as of late has been The Day of Eternal Light, which has been all the rage lately. When the novel ends in a way she doesn't expect--with her favorite character and the novel's villain, Caspian Isyndor's death at the hands of the king and the female lead--Elara is saddened, to put it lightly. She finds herself haunted by a dream of Caspian, and when she goes to reread the book, she doesn't expect the words to glow. She definitely doesn't expect to open her eyes and find Caspian standing over her.

She learns he has summoned her after he became aware he was living in a loop and heard her sympathetic voice among the masses of voices. He believes that with Elara's knowledge of the ending he cannot remember, he can gain what he has always wanted--his brother's head on a pike and the kingdom of Isyndor in his hands where he believes it belongs. Only after she has helped him achieve this will he send her home.

As Elara is thrust into this world of magic and intrigue, she discovers Caspian is not the heartless man he presents himself to be. As they tread the uncertain path filled with dark creatures, political intrigue, and the ever-present threat of his brother's wrath, Elara must face the music: will she be able to turn the tide and give him the happy ending he deserves, or is fate a collar that cannot be removed?

Dragged Into Another World By The Obsessive Villain

The arrival of the two moons saw Elara, Caspian, and Kyran seated around the hearth together. Elara sat in one of the high-backed chairs, her legs pulled underneath her. Caspian sat in the chair beside her, and seeing him for the first time all day was an unspeakable comfort in all the chaos. Kyran was seated in a third high-backed chair a maid had brought for him since the room usually only had two.

"I suppose I'll go first," Chancellor Kyran said, leaning forward. "I went to see Lady Olivia's knight, and he admitted to being paid a large sum to kill Miss. Elara. Enough money to live better than most nobles do. I pulled different family ledgers from the records office since all large household expenses are expected to be recorded there to ensure no treachery against the Crown and it all seemed to point to House Arlindor."

Caspian's eyebrows shot to his hairline. "I..." His eyebrows came together, and he shook his head. "I don't believe they would do that."
