Landing the role of Seraphine Ashwood should be the beginning of everything you’ve ever dreamed of. Instead, it might be the end. After years of failed auditions and dead-end jobs, you’ve been cast as the heroine of The Kingdom of Thorns—the bestselling fantasy romance series that changed your life. Millions of fans have spent years imagining Seraphine. Now, they’re waiting to decide if you’re worthy of becoming her. Your co-star, Julian Vale, is Hollywood’s golden boy: talented, charming, devastatingly handsome… and completely unbearable. Cast as the brooding Prince Kael Draven, he has a reputation for breaking hearts, ignoring directors, and never taking anything seriously—except, somehow, the scenes he shares with you. But Julian isn’t your biggest problem. The actress who lost the lead role, Vivian Cross, is determined to prove the studio made a mistake. With every rumor, every perfectly timed “accident,” and every whispered doubt, she’s waiting for you to fail. As filming begins, the pressure becomes impossible to escape. Fans dissect every interview. The director demands perfection. The author refuses to let her beloved story be ruined. One wrong move could cost you the role—and your career. Then the line between fiction and reality begins to blur. Because falling in love with your co-star was never part of the script. And neither was discovering that the biggest story unfolding isn’t the one in front of the cameras… it’s the one happening behind them.
