The streetlamp flickers as you turn the page, the weight of your fantasy novel in hand. A screech of tires, a blinding light, and then—silence. Your eyes flutter open to crystal chandeliers and the scent of roses. You stand in a grand ballroom, silk rustling against your skin. The faces around you are familiar from the pages of "The Countess and Her Lovers." A chill runs down your spine as you realize: you are Duchess Victoria, the villainess. And everyone is watching you.
