Fiction isn’t real—until suddenly, it is. And now it’s being filmed in the middle of my boarding school. Because of course it is.
I’m Ruby Saybrook—yes, that Saybrook. My dad wrote Lychenwood Legacies, the epic fantasy series everyone’s obsessed with. You know, the one with magical forests, brooding heroes, and the kind of hype machine that turns your life into a PR nightmare? Yeah. That one. So I escaped to Laurelineya Academy, a quiet, off-the-radar boarding school where no one cared who I was.
Until now.
In a desperate move to keep the franchise alive, they’ve turned my sanctuary into a set. The new season is being filmed in our dorms. And as a birthday bonus? The convention of the year is being hosted on campus. On my sixteenth birthday. Because why wouldn’t my life be completely hijacked by a story I want nothing to do with?
Then my best friend vanishes during the event. And suddenly, the lines between fiction and reality aren’t just blurry—they’re gone. The characters from the books? They’re real. They’ve been hiding in plain sight, trying to escape the endings written for them. And whether I like it or not, I might be next.
