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

<p>Aurelia rubbed at her temples. "Almost as soon as I arrived, the Queen's Lady-in-Waiting told me the King and Queen wanted to see me. I told them about the device you found and managed to convince the King that you took so long because you wanted to ensure you had all the facts before you reported anything back but the Queen..." Aurelia narrowed her honey-colored eyes. "She convinced the King to come and see things for himself. Manipulated is more what it felt like. You should've seen the way she moved him to her liking." She shuddered. "Gods, it was eerie."</p>

<p>Caspian exhaled sharply, a sigh teetering on the edge of frustration. "Of course she would." He looked down at himself, gently touching the bandaged wound. "We cannot let them see me like this."</p>
