Caught Between Two Worlds

All Celestine ever wanted was to be someone powerful so that she won't be looked down upon. That was what she wished on a blissful night. And that very wish made her life go downhill years later ever since she came across a sacred pendant. When an invitation lands on her lap to the most prestigious university of Adrian, nothing could stop her from going there. That is until her life gets entwined with two men, the cruellest foes of each other which she wishes to escape from. But the universe paints a different picture. On a dreary day, she falls to her near-death and finds herself in the ancient land of Vitalis. With an unintentionally committed crime to her name, she must face the justice of the place where mercy is invaluable and death is inevitable and of little value. And so her trial begins at the mercy of the tainted hands of the Masked Tyrant. Alastair Arden Waldorf. Ruthless, cold-blooded and faceless. When things turn for the worse, will she be able to return to her land and not be involved in a terrifying history? Will she save, kill or escape from the tyrant to the other two men when he shall come for her? Shall love prevail between the two or will they stick to their time to avoid an inevitable curse? ~ WARNING: Mature Content (18+) Cover Design: imagineTishaD (Webnovel) Image Credit: fromKITnoc (DeviantArt) Want to support and interact with the author?

"Where have you been, Lady Thesia Dixon?" said the king gravely. "I had wanted to see you dining with me in the hall than missing your breakfast and frisking about. Has your health made you forget that nutrition is important for your slow and steady recovery?"

"You know very well, Your Majesty, that I have no need of that," I replied, my eyes looking at his pockets to signal the fact that the chain would be enough.

"She's honest," commented the General, at whom I now gave a hard stare. "I wonder how harsh her punishment was."

"A liar can tell a few truths," stated the lord, making me question my need to be beside him. "Not that she could be one, but I trust her not regardless. I am wary of my kingdom and what lies in it."

"That side of you has never changed, milord. I don't think it shall ever soon, though I wonder how you now handle such affairs after these many years."
