Percy, a broke novel reviewer, barely scrapes by until his drunken, deadbeat father kills him over a few bills. But instead of dying, he wakes up inside the very novel he just reviewed… and hated.
Now trapped in Paintings of Felicius’s Portraits as Iulian Horatius, a character doomed to die at the hands of the novel’s ruthless protagonist, Percy is forced to navigate a world of terrifying powers, family strife, and scorn.
Worst of all? He must face Felicius D'Nivis Solvere. The unstable, tortured heir of the Grand Duke, whose fate is steeped in madness and tragedy.
But as Percy fights against his cruel fate, his relationship with Felicius takes an unexpected turn. With survival on the line and romance blooming in the shadows of cruelty, can Percy rewrite this doomed story… or will he remain to be the victim of fate?
