Trapped in a fairytale where the glass slipper no longer fits, a simple woman from the modern world wakes up to find herself inhabiting the body of a forgotten side character named Sierra Castillo. Her new world is luxurious, beautiful, and utterly lethal. The grand romance she once dismissed as childish now unravels into a treacherous web of secrets, forbidden desires, and political intrigue.
As alliances crumble and betrayals come to light, Sierra discovers that the real story is far darker, far more complicated, and infinitely more dangerous than any book could ever reveal. Survival means navigating a court where every smile hides a lie, and every whispered promise could be a death sentence - especially when her own heart, and the fate of her future, hang in the balance.
