The Tyrant's Daughter

She died a modern teenage girl and woke up a baby - reborn into the pages of the fantasy novel she used to read. For three peaceful months, she was just an infant, safe in her mother's arms. Then she remembers: she is the daughter of the story's final villain, a man destined to become history's most feared tyrant.
Her mother spent a year hiding her - first the pregnancy, then the child - determined he would never know. But secrets don't stay buried, and when he finally finds them, the confrontation costs her mother her life.
Now she belongs to the very monster she once read about defeating.
Raised in his castle, she braces herself for cruelty. Instead, she finds a man who has no idea how to love, but refuses to let anyone take her from him. To the kingdom, he is a name spoken in fear. To her, he is simply - impossibly - her father.
As she grows, she must find a way to keep him from becoming the tyrant she remembers, all while unearthing the truths he's buried: who her mother really was, why he searched for her so relentlessly, and who else is watching from the shadows, determined to take her away.
