Kiera Addinell never believed in magic. Fairytales were for children, and happy endings were lies people told themselves to survive. After losing everything, she learned the truth the hard way: hope doesn't pay rent, and wishes don't change fate. So when an old storybook suddenly drags her into Ornothopia-a world of glittering castles, dangerous secrets, and a maddeningly handsome prince who insists she belongs there-Kiera knows one thing: This has to be some kind of mistake. Because magic isn't real. ...Right? But as forgotten memories awaken and political schemes tighten around the throne, Kiera is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: What if the fairytale was real all along- and she was never meant to escape it?
