I wrote a heroine who drowned. Now I'm the one drowning in her body.
I'm Nora Brooks, a bestselling author. I killed my heroine in chapter 87, and forty thousand readers wanted me dead for it. Then I died saving a stray dog and woke up inside my own book as the girl I drowned.
Now I'm Nora Wells, the "blank" everyone mocks. My stepmother sold my mother's pearls. My stepsister is waiting to take my beast, my name and my place on the Ark. And in ninety days, the Flood will swallow the world.
I know every twist, because I wrote them. That's the only thing I have.
So I'm changing the ending.
I pick the weakest beast in the Temple, a half-dead peacock chick called Pip, that everyone laughs at. I make the people who wronged Nora pay, one humiliating reversal at a time. And with Pip, I'll build a shelter, stock food and clean water, and prepare for a disaster that kills almost everyone I wrote.
But the plot is changing without me. The Flood is coming faster. The villains keep doing things I never wrote. And a woman in the dark water seems to be holding my pen.
Pip isn't just a beast. He's hiding a power that can survive the end of the world, and a curse that I may be the only one who can break.
Ninety days. One peacock. One author who knows how it all ends, except for the part that matters.
They chose the dragon. I chose the weakest beast.
