What if the stories you love could pull you inside them?
And what if leaving became the hardest part?
Rylee Reeder has discovered a secret most people never will: she can step inside the worlds of books.
At first, it’s everything she’s ever wanted—danger without consequences, adventure without limits, the thrill of standing face-to-face with dragons and walking away unharmed. Inside the stories, Rylee feels braver. Stronger. More alive.
But the more time she spends slipping between worlds, the more the pull grows.
Real life starts to feel quieter.
Harder
Less exciting.
And soon, Rylee realizes that not every dragon is meant to be fought—and not every adventure is meant to be chased.
As the line between stories and reality begins to blur, Rylee must make a choice no one else can make for her.
Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do isn’t stepping into the story—it’s staring down the dragon and choosing to stay.
