Eddie Munson thought he knew how his final senior year would go, but everything changed when a class project with Chrissy Cunningham sets off a chain of events that lands him face-first in the middle of Hawkins' supernatural war.

Carter, a struggling author, wakes up trapped in the body of Felix von Frederick-the very villain he created for his bestselling dark fantasy series. A spoiled nobleman with a legacy of cruelty, Felix is destined to betray his family, unleash a demonic war, and die a coward's death. But Carter refuses to play his part. Armed with knowledge of the story's future and a mysterious golden eye that whispers of forgotten prophecies, he fights to rewrite Felix's fate. Yet, the world resists his changes.
