"Keep your happily ever after, it ain't mine." 

Doomed to live forever as a side character, a dragon-shifter resigns herself to her fate. Story after story, she creates the main characters' happy endings, even at the cost of sacrificing her own.

In her latest story, she inhabits the body of Jia, the best friend and third wheel in a cheap romance tale. However, when characters deviate from the script, 'Jia' must navigate the unpredictable plot twists to prevent the system from crumbling. Failure could mean being trapped in that world forever which forces her to enlist the help of a mysterious thief lurking in the shadows who holds the key to her escape.

Thrown into the spotlight for the first time,  will she rise to the challenge? Or will succumb to her inevitable fate, forever the side character?

Little did Meya know this shenanigan would lead her across land and over sea, from a mountain made of sapphire to an island shrouded in spiral clouds, with masquerades, heists, kidnappings, shipwrecks, alchemy, romance, and an unexpected 'bump' along the way.

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒。・゚♡゚・。🍓。・゚♡゚・。 Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity. Sure, she and her boyfriend had minuscule issues, but which logical relationship didn't have their occasional ups and downs? After landing in Extra Credit class due to a series of mishaps with her grades and attendance, Dallas's turmoil became despair when she became paired with one of the most eccentric people in the entire class. Seriously. Who wore sunglasses to school, much less indoors? When weeks turned into months of working together, series of back-and-forth message threads started to hit closer and closer to home. Suddenly, Dallas realized that maybe her life wasn't as idyllic as she was previously led to believe. || Completed 2023 ✔️ || ©ReeseTory2022
