Celeste Eris Vespera
✧ ✧ ✧
Waking up in another world sounds like a dream.
Elandris Imperia proves it's a lie.
Cindy Evangelio once had her own name, her own life, and her own choices. But brought into Elandris and stripped of everything she was, she's forced to live as Celeste Eris Vespera, the perfect daughter her father crafted, the obedient marionette everyone expects.
Thrown into a world of strangers; with a fiancé she's never met, a dangerously mysterious man, and no way to tell friend from enemy.
Cindy is forced to survive on instinct alone.
This is not a fairytale.
This is a game of strings.
And she refuses to be a marionette.
