What would you do if one drink changed your fate forever?
Celia, a servant trapped in the gilded halls of Delfino's royal family, has always been careful to avoid attention. But one night at a forbidden party, a red-eyed stranger offers her a drink that she can't refuse-and wakes up in a world without magic. On Earth, Amara has spent years running from a nameless threat and the strange powers she can't control. When a mysterious bartender hands her a drink, she finds herself in the heart of a magical kingdom where every lie could mean her death.
Two women. Two worlds. One prophecy.
Why does the crow haunt their dreams, whispering warnings of destruction? Who is the enigmatic Bartender who seems to be pulling the strings, and can he be trusted-or feared? And when love blooms in unexpected places, will it be their salvation or their undoing?
"The crow may rest, but its shadow lingers."
In the first chapter, Celia is warned: "Never drink from a stranger, no matter how tempting the offer." On Earth, Amara receives a chilling note that reads: "You were never meant to exist." But by the time they realize the gravity of their choices, it's too late. The realms are unraveling, and the crow's shadow looms larger than ever.
What will they sacrifice to survive? And what will be left of them when the dust settles?

Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental. The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting. Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.Concluida

I tried to slip away, but he grabbed my wrists, pinning them down tightly. He pressed his hard body against me. I was aware of every inch of him that was touching me. "Don't think you can just leave. We're not done yet." My stomach tightened at his words, the desire inside burning for him. My damn body at war with my mind yet again. He slid his hand up to the edge of my shorts, slowly working it's way up as his mouth trailed small nips from my neck to my collar bone and lower, stopping only when he reached the fabric.

Our servants were specially trained on how to clean up messes without having bloody accidents. She looked up at me with a renewed sense of hostility. "I will do it myself!" Reginald didn't move.
