Ava is a reclusive bookworm who only ever sees the same few people from day to day. She rarely leaves her home, but she loses herself in her books and her own writing. The adventures that she allows her characters to embark upon are plenty the outside world that she needs. James wants the world in the palm of his hand and he's being fed that on a silver platter, but there's no danger or excitement to his life like he craves. He'd much rather go out and be adventuring than just sitting and receiving the kingdom without putting in anything. These two unlikely lovers cross paths thanks to a bit of magic, but trouble is brewing right under their noses. Ava's past and James' present combine into one very bitter demon who's more than happy to steal James' kingdom from him. Not if Ava has anything to say about it. (Or a weird combination of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, a bit of Aladdin, and demons. Take it as you will.)

The end of the world approaches, and time is running out.

"NO!" Ralph screams as he watches as Jake, the one he called a friend stabs Astrid in her stomach. "It's over." He says with a sadistic smile on his face as he lets go of the knife handle ready to take a step back but can't. "No. It's not." Astrid says through gritted teeth as she grabs him by the neck with the last of her strength. He suddenly starts to feel cold then she lets him go falling to her knees. Jake starts to laugh at her pathetic attempt but stops short when sees ice covering his hands. "What did you do?" He asks as he looks at her in shock as she pulls out the knife, applying pressure to her wound as blood starts to appear on her lips. "You don't need to know because it's over for you." She says as he lets out a scream as he's completely covered in ice. "Karma is a bitch." Astrid says before darkness takes over just as the immobilization spell around Ralph is broken by his magic responding to his emotion.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?
