Elliot Grant is a quiet, bookish man who spends his nights escaping into the pages of his favorite fantasy-romance novel.

One fateful night, Elliot is mysteriously transported into the story, waking up as a side character: Elias, the prince’s loyal and somewhat overlooked confidant. At first, Elliot is thrilled. He decides to stay true to the story’s plot, determined to play his part without interfering in Aedric and Selene’s fateful romance. He uses his knowledge of the book to subtly ensure their bond grows as written.

But things take an unexpected turn when Elliot’s actions create unintended ripple effects.  Elliot tries to step back, unwilling to disrupt the couple’s destiny, but the growing tension between the three becomes undeniable. 

In a world where bonds are forged by battle and trust, the three must navigate their intertwined feelings while facing looming threats: assassins, a brewing rebellion, and a dark sorcerer bent on controlling the Shattered Crown.

As Elliot’s presence continues to reshape the story, he’s forced to question the very nature of fate. Is he here to witness the love between Aedric and Selene? Or is he meant to be part of it?

Elias walked through the temple with steady steps, his destination clear in his mind. The inner praying chamber was hidden deep within the temple, accessible only to those who held the rank of priest or higher.

It was a sacred space — home to a branch of the World Tree, Yggdrasil, believed to be connected to the gods themselves.

The air grew cooler as Elias entered the chamber, the scent of moss and ancient wood filling his senses.

The light was dim, with only the soft glow of enchanted candles illuminating the space. In the center of the chamber, a twisted branch of the World Tree rested on an altar of polished stone.

Elias approached the altar, his steps slow and reverent. He knelt before the branch, lowering his head until his forehead touched the ancient wood.

"Gods," he whispered. "What should I do?"

Silence stretched around him. The gods did not answer. They never did.
