When fiction bleeds into reality, the line between author and creation vanishes.

Elara Quinn thought her Codex was just a fantasy-a leather-bound journal filled with puzzles, secret societies, and a kingdom that never existed. But when a local man is found dead clutching a puzzle box identical to the ones she created, Elara realizes her story isn't as fictional as she believed.

As symbols from her Codex appear at crime scenes, Elara is pulled into a deadly game that only she can finish. With her best friend Maya at her side, she races to unravel the Order's secrets before the next victim falls. But the deeper she digs, the more the Codex whispers its own truths-and its own lies.

What if the Codex wasn't just a story?
What if it was a prophecy?
And what if Elara was never the author-but the final key?
