    Dr. Elara Vance knows every legend, myth, and fairy tale by heart—as a mythology professor, it’s her life’s work. But she never expected one of those legends to step out of the pages and into her university library, cloaked in shadow and desperate for help. Kael, the last living heir of a forgotten royal bloodline, is real. And his people are on the brink of extinction. 
    Drawn into a world where ancient myths breathe and magic lingers in every whisper, Elara must use her scholarly knowledge to help Kael reclaim his throne and prevent a war that could unravel both their worlds. But as they journey through enchanted realms and face creatures of lore, an undeniable connection grows between the mortal academic and the mythical lord—a bond that defies the very stories she’s spent her life studying. 
    Yet saving his kingdom may come at a devastating price: a sacrifice that could cost Elara her heart, her future, or even her life. In a tale where love blurs the lines between legend and reality, two souls must decide whether some stories are worth rewriting—even if it means changing their own endings. 
    Perfect for fans of: 
    📖 Mythology-Inspired Worlds & Academic Adventures

    ✨ Mortal x Mythical & Legendary Destinies

    Most people would call the ability to read minds a gift. Not Iris. She hates knowing what people are thinking all the time. 
    As if that weren’t bad enough, that so-called gift has led to being a guinea pig for a prominent doctor's wild psychological experiments. When she finally escapes his clutches, she lands in the office of one Langdon Fox, a wealthy, influential, and downright handsome vampire who offers to keep her safe. 
    Except Iris can’t tell if he’s sincere because she can’t read his mind. Which should make her elated, if she weren’t so worried that he has plans of his own. Plans that might not be in her best interest. But one thing she knows for certain is how his “indecipherable” touch ignites a passion in her that she’s never experienced before. 
    Langdon wants nothing more than to help and protect Iris, but his dead heart begins to skip beats whenever he’s near her, creating too many distractions. And now he worries that his uncontrollable desire for her will sabotage his efforts to keep her alive.
