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 light from the crystal tendrils stretched deeper into the forest, weaving through the dense underbrush like some ethereal guide. The heavy air carried a symphony of damp leaves and brittle twigs snapping beneath hurried footsteps. Elara's pulse thrummed in time with each crackle, her breaths quickening. Her thoughts were consumed with Caspian and Kyran's safety. She hoped neither of them were injured too terribly by those rods and she certainly hoped they were both alive and in one piece.

Edris filled them in on what he'd found as they followed the trail Melanova's crystal illuminated. The third set of footprints that seemed to be following them from the very beginning. The odd contraption that seemed to be in the right spot to attack them. The marks that seemed to be dragging something or someone.

It seemed as if someone had it out for them from the very beginning.
