KINGDOM OF ASHES

Seventeen-year-old Lyra Hartwell has never been able to move on from The Kingdom of Ashes, a fantasy series abandoned by its author three years ago. While everyone else forgot about the unfinished books, Lyra spent years rereading them, obsessed with finding answers to the story's unresolved mysteries-and especially its silver-haired prince, Elias EverCast.

One night, after discovering a strange message hidden inside the book. "Find me"Lyra falls asleep and wakes up inside the world of Asteria itself.

But this isn't the story she remembers.

A mysterious notebook reveals that the world is collapsing because the series was never finished. The sky is literally tearing apart, forgotten chapters have vanished, and an ancient force known only as The End is slowly erasing reality.

Chosen as The Reader, Lyra is given the power to rewrite the story's ending by recovering the missing pages. But every page comes with a terrible cost. Memories must be sacrificed. Truths must be faced. And every choice threatens to change the fate of the people she has loved for years.

Alongside Prince Elias and the dangerously charming villain Dorian Nightfall, Lyra journeys across a dying fantasy world filled with forgotten kingdoms, cursed ruins, impossible trials, and Readers who came before her and failed.

As she uncovers the truth, Lyra learns something even more terrifying:

The author never abandoned the story.

The story trapped her.

Now caught between saving the author, saving the world, and saving the people she loves, Lyra must decide whether some endings are worth rewriting-and whether becoming part of a story is worth losing herself forever.

A fantasy adventure filled with romance, mystery, magic, heartbreak, and the question every reader secretly asks: What if your favorite story became real?
