Ballad of The Broken

What would you do if you woke up in the body of someone who was part of a story you once read?
And what if the ending meant the death of the female lead?
Would you help her?
Would you save her?
Would you change her fate?

When River wakes up in the body of a stranger inside the world of his favorite novel, he knows exactly how the story ends, and he refuses to let it happen. Amelia Valemont, a woman destined for heartbreak, was never meant to survive. In the pages he once read, she was beautiful, broken, and doomed to be forgotten. But now, with a second chance in his hands, River is determined to rewrite her fate.

Living under the borrowed identity of "Lena," River infiltrates Amelia's lonely world, earning her trust, her laughter... and maybe even her heart. But the deeper he falls, the harder it becomes to remember that he was never meant to stay.

As the shadows of the original story close in-and a deadly secret resurfaces-River must choose: Let the novel play out the way it was written or break every rule to save the girl who was never supposed to be saved.

Even if it means losing himself in the process.

A story about second chances, impossible choices, and the kind of love that can change destiny.
