Elaine Starling was meant to be a footnote in a story. The novel's extra. A bystander. The unknown noblewoman. The girl whose heartbreak would pave the way for a better ending—just not hers.

But in a daring act of defiance, Elaine rewrote the rules. Literally.

After unraveling the fatalistic control of the Reversal Cult and rejecting the tyrannical “plot” that demanded her suffering, Elaine seized ownership of a story that didn't belongs to her. Alongside Lior—the former secondary male lead turned devoted husband—she brought the cycle of doomed narratives to an end. The stars even changed shape in celebration, rearranging into a spiral: an emblem of endless possibility and forward motion. Their once-doomed castle became a place of laughter, growth, and healing. For the first time, Elaine believed she had reached her true ending.

But stories, especially ones that rebel against their authors, never end that easily.
