DUET NARRATION

The hero will sacrifice her. The villain will claim her.

When Barbara "Barbi" Bancroft receives an unreleased manuscript from the series she's obsessed with, she thinks it's a dream come true.

Until the story pulls her inside.

Now trapped in the brutal, magical realm of Akkaya, Barbi is certain of one thing: she knows how this story ends.

She knows the heroes. The quests. The romance. Or at least… she thought she did.

Because Sir Damien—the noble knight she's loved from afar—is nothing like the man she imagined.

He's cruel and ruthless. And he plans to sacrifice her in a dark ritual that will give him the power to cross into her world… and conquer it.

Alone, hunted, and completely out of her depth, Barbi's only chance of survival lies with the last person she should ever trust:

The villain.

He's feared. Hated. Dangerous in ways she doesn't understand… and utterly unpredictable.

But he's her only chance of survival. Until he becomes her greatest threat.

Because Barbi doesn't just bargain with the villain; she unknowingly binds herself to him.

Now magically mated and trapped in a story that's spiraling out of control, Barbi must decide:

Fight fate—and risk losing everything.

Or surrender… to the villain who might be her only hope of survival.

This is a DARK fantasy romance with a villainous love interest. Please check the triggers before listening. It ends in a cliffhanger.
