Thrown Into the Unknown

Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, Astraeia has everything money can buy. Her father is the President of the country, her mother a powerful businesswoman, and her life seems perfect on the outside. Everyone envies her, calls her a "nepo baby," and despises her for getting everything she wants-but no one knows the truth: beneath her luxurious lifestyle, she's starved of her parents' love and attention.

Fed up with the world's judgment, Astraeia reluctantly accepts her cousin's invitation to camp in the most forbidden forest, despite countless warnings. On their way, an old woman mysteriously hands her a strange, glowing book. Curious, Astraeia reads it-but the story inside makes her furious, showing a life where parents give their child the care and affection she's always craved. In a fit of anger, she throws the book-and the moment it touches the ground, magic engulfs her.

When she opens her eyes, Astraeia is no longer in her lavish world. She's in a modern, unfamiliar land, where wealth is rare and poverty is the norm. Alongside her cousin, she must navigate this new world as her usual spoiled, maldita self-but without money, influence, or the privileges she once took for granted, Astraeia faces the greatest challenge of her life: learning empathy, humility, and the meaning of true attention.
