You know those moments when the universe decides to toss you into the deep end of the pool, and you're left wondering if you even know how to swim? That's me-Ellery Thorncroft, the reluctant daughter of society's reigning queen of perfection. My life has been a carefully orchestrated waltz of glittering galas and empty conversations, until the night he appeared. Castian. Dark, enigmatic, and armed with a map that might as well have "Danger This Way" scrawled across it in neon. Now I'm dodging glass-shattering chaos, cryptic warnings, and the unsettling realization that the secrets I've spent years ignoring might just cost me everything. But don't let the ballgowns and champagne fool you-I'm no damsel in distress. I'll untangle this web of lies, even if it means facing the truth about myself. Or, you know, accidentally unraveling the entire fabric of my reality. What could possibly go wrong?
