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.

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete
