Tenebrae Astralis

"Under starry skies, our shadows entwine, forever bound by love's celestial tie."

Stella Hayes, a 30-year-old secret agent, spent her life living in the shadows, risking it all for missions she didn't fully believe in. Her final mission-to assassinate a dangerous criminal-ends in betrayal and her untimely death. But instead of the void she expected, Stella awakens in the world of her late mother's favorite book, The Torment Paradise.

The book, a cherished gift from her mother, was a dark tale of love, betrayal, and redemption. To her horror, Stella isn't reincarnated as the pure-hearted heroine. Instead, she becomes Lady Aurelia-Amara Lumina Evernight, the villainess destined to destroy the heroine's life and meet a gruesome end.

Amara, known for her cruelty and obsession with the male lead, is condemned to lose everything in the story: her wealth, her status, and her life. Determined to escape this fate, Stella resolves to avoid Amara's destructive path. But rewriting destiny in The Torment Paradise proves harder than she imagined.

Every move she makes ripples through the story: the cold-hearted Crown Prince begins to see through her facade, the brooding knight assigned to protect her harbors suspicions and desires of his own, and the heroine-far less innocent than she appears-might not be an ally after all.

As Stella struggles to navigate Amara's life and avoid her tragic end, she uncovers dark secrets about the world of the book-and the role her mother's gift might have played in her reincarnation. But the more she tries to change the story, the more it seems the ending is determined to catch up with her.

Will Stella find a way to escape the chains of Amara's doomed fate, or is she trapped forever in The Torment Paradise-a story of her mother's choosing?
