Why Clare Ended up at the High Lord's Mansion

A fantasy romance where A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion-with a heroine who rewrites fate from inside the story she was never meant to survive.

A 21-year-old ER assistant with no family, no real future, and a head full of fantasy novels, Helena spent her nights treating strangers and her breaks escaping into the worlds she wished were real. Until the night she died-struck by a car while saving someone else. But instead of darkness, she wakes up... in a world she vaguely remembers from the pages of a book.

She is now Clare Beddor, a minor noblewoman in A Court of Thorns and Roses-a background character doomed to die at the hands of Amarantha. Helena doesn't remember all the details, but she remembers enough: Clare's death is brutal. Public. Unavoidable.
And the timeline has already begun.

Feyre is gone. The wolf is dead. The curse is unraveling.
Clare is taken Under the Mountain, destined to meet her demise.
Thrown into the role of a girl meant to be a footnote, Clare is imprisoned, tortured, and forced into trials meant to destroy her. But she isn't who Amarantha thinks she is. She has some of her previous life memories. And she remembers just enough of the book's events to fight back-even if the story is already changing around her.

When Rhysand discovers he can't read her mind-and that her very presence is disrupting the magic that binds Prythian-everything shifts. The High Lords are freed, the curse is broken... and Feyre is still mortal.

Clare wasn't supposed to be part of this world.
She wasn't supposed to survive.
She wasn't supposed to change anything.

But she does.
And now, with war looming and Hybern rising, Clare may be the most dangerous unknown in Prythian's history.

A mortal girl with no place in the story.
A fae court still reeling from its own rewritten fate.
And a High Lord who cannot understand her-but may come to love her.

She didn't ask to be part of this story.
But she's going to finish it.
