This is, above all else, a story about love. Whether that love is found, lost, let go, it doesn't matter in the end. This story is a love story where love might not conquer all
Anais is a woman taunted by many things; she is haunted by the eyeless ghost in her home, by the looming threat of debt and death, and by the whispers in her ear. When Blair Morrison comes to town, drunk and grief-stricken she is haunted by him as well. In the stories he shares about his love, she finds herself dreaming of a luxury she had never been allowed. The poet makes her doubt what she thinks she knows and dares her to find out exactly what she's missed. In the end. Anais will have found her first taste of love, and she will understand that it's something worth dying for.
Love will lift her up, and then it will let her fall. She will die with only a taste of what could have been hers.

Shadows Under the Crown
Tarus was never meant to live. Cursed at birth, he was born without magic-a death sentence in a world where magic means everything. His only saving grace was a divine blessing from Alios, the God of Healing, granting him immortality and the ability to heal any wound. But what should have been a gift became a curse, draining his very life force instead of restoring it. As he wishes to Uncover the truth. His path collides with hers-the daughter of the man who sits on the throne. Sharp-witted and bound by duty, she upholds her father's rule, unaware of the bloody past that secured his power. She doesn't know who Tarus really is. And neither does the king. Yet, despite the secrets and the lies, an undeniable tension grows between them-an unspoken connection neither can explain. But in a world where power is everything, and betrayal lurks in every shadow, what happens when the truth finally comes to light? A tale of magic, betrayal, divine power, and a love neither of them can afford. The balance of life and death rests in the hands of a reaper who was never meant to exist. Are you ready to uncover the truth?

"But the question was, is this possible? Am I really in the story? But how? And why?" A tragedy occurred in Gauri's life and her idea of happiness and 'living life' to the fullest changed drastically. That's when she came across an old diary in the new house that she recently shifted into, to run from the memories of her past and start a new life. She felt that the story was calling out to her in weird ways because she kept going back to it, re-reading it multiple times, and feeling the heartbreak and extreme traumatic emotions all over again. Then, one day, she gets into an accident and finds herself in a world she didn't recognise, only to later realise that she may or may not have entered another world - The world she was reading about in the diary!! The world she knows because she has read it multiple times, but also the world she doesn't know because it was supposed to be fiction! Her only consolation was meeting the man she had been crying over for the past year. Would she be able to save the man from his inevitable destiny, or does she have to leave behind the man who made her feel things she didn't know were possible?
