Cheska never imagined she’d be dragged into a world of magic and castles straight out of her favorite novels. But when a bitter and mysterious summoning pulls her— and her favorite author— into this realm, she’s forced to face a story far more tangled than fiction.

Surrounded by royal intrigue, dangerous creatures, and secrets tied to her companion’s past, Cheska must navigate a world both familiar and foreign.
