Falling Into Forever (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244682649)

One world wanted to cage her. The other might just set her on fire.

Seventeen-year-old Ruby Milano is an expert at being invisible. Tucked away in a dusty attic in Ohio, her life is a repetitive cycle of dodging her cruel stepmother and dreaming of the father who vanished three years ago. Her only escape is the thrift-store books she devours-until the day the words start to crawl off the page.

When a shimmering purple-and-gold tome pulls Ruby through a literal hole in reality, she doesn't land in a fairytale. She lands in Alderwall-a kingdom of turquoise skies, "engine-insects," and a brewing war. Captured by the ruthless Warlord Tiberius and sentenced to the pyre, Ruby's only hope is a prince who looks like he walked out of a legend but treats her like a dangerous spy.

Prince Henry is a man of cold steel and heavy crowns, burdened by a failing kingdom and a missing magic he can't reclaim. He doesn't trust the girl in the "Nike" shoes and neon hoodie, but as they flee through the woods, he can't ignore the silver light flickering in her veins-or the way she looks at him with a defiance no citizen would dare.

With a mysterious book as her only map home and a heart that's starting to beat for a world she was never supposed to find, Ruby must decide: Will she return to the safety of her attic, or will she embrace a destiny that has been waiting for her bloodline for centuries?
