King Octavian and the Emperor weren’t the same person. They never had been, not in any version of the story. The Emperor was always Key.

Noooo

It got returned

I was so close to finishing it😭

Eric laughed again. This time, it sounded more real. “Are we chivalry bros? I haven’t even read the books of chivalry! I don’t think I’ll agree with them.” “You should read them,” said Marius. “I look forward to disagreeing with you.”
“What are you planning to do?”
Marius hesitated. “Care for you.”

Against her lips, the king murmured: “Cut his throat.”

She reeled and found herself sinking to the stone. Kneeling, staring helplessly up at Key. The first person she’d seen when she woke to this world, the first person to take her side. He was always smiling. Now a second smile curved on his neck. A red mouth that gaped and gushed blood. Key’s last breath bubbled away through his slit throat.

In the real world, mythological beasts in medieval books came from medieval people panicking when they saw unfamiliar creatures and drawing them as monsters. Understandable: in a world before nature documentaries, the first sight of a rhino must be a lot.

“I’m a treacherous, power-hungry bitch, and honestly? It feels amazing. Don’t listen to stories encouraging you to be good, telling you to shine in a filthy world and patiently endure suffering. Screw suffering. It’s too hard to be good. Do the easy thing. Do the evil thing. Grasp whatever you desire in your greedy bloodstained hands.”

Oh yeah.
I’m going to loveee this

So guess what’s ready🤭

I’m pretty excited for this book
