Transported into a novel's pages, Carynne Hare clings to one desperate hope: finding true love to achieve her happy ending. But each time the story concludes, death awaits her. When she awakens anew, she returns to the beginning—trapped in an endless cycle. Again and again, she falls in love, only to meet the same gruesome fates: poison, strangulation, illness, fatal accidents, crushing deaths, and worse. By her 117th birthday, Carynne Hare has endured enough. Shedding her hopeful delusions, she embraces a sinister transformation. No longer a victim of narrative cruelty, she becomes the architect of her own dark destiny: a ruthless murderer breaking free from eternal damnation.
