Ethan Blackwood, a struggling novelist with a penchant for abrupt endings, finds himself judged not by critics, but by an entity far more powerful: a literary-obsessed Archangel. His crime? Botching the ending of his beloved fantasy epic and abandoning its sequel. Ethan's punishment is to be reborn within the very world he created, as Lucian Thorne, the notorious 'Shadow Duke' and fiancé to the fiercely independent Princess Aurelia, a villain destined to be crushed by the noble hero. Trapped in a life he wrote for his own demise, Ethan must navigate political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and the unexpected allure of the 'heroine' he was supposed to despise, all while trying to avoid the grim fate he penned for himself.
