Aria is never the same after losing her parents. Living in a bubble, books become her only friend. But her reality flips on its head when she wakes up inside a story—in the body of a not-so-divine priestess.
To survive in this power-mad world, Aria must untangle the priestess’ sins and face the consequences of every scheme she left behind… all while searching for a way home.
Unluckily for Aria, the Goddesses have other plans.
After saving the enigmatic Prince Yul from the very assassination the priestess had planned, Aria can’t seem to shake him from her shadow. And with Yosef—the priestess’ secret lover—hovering close, Aria’s life in the Shrine shifts from pious to forbidden.
Armed with a newfound healing power, Aria must compete with the other priestesses of Sazgartha Academy to become the next divine maiden and claim a magical book that may be her only ticket home.
But as the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, Aria must choose:
Escape to survive, or stay for love with the hidden prince.
