What if you risked everything to save your life… just to wake up inside the life you always dreamed of? Delilah, a 32 year old woman from our world goes under for experimental brain surgery—and opens her eyes in Nevaehun, the realm of the Fae. No doctors. No monitors. No proof she even made it through. Is this the afterlife… or a dream brought on by anesthesia? As she fights to understand Nevaehun’s rules, power stirs in her blood—dangerous, unfamiliar—and so does a hunger she’s never allowed herself to want. It draws the attention of a High Lord of Flame whose pull feels like fate… and betrayal. Because in the mortal realm, she left behind a husband she still loves. Now Delilah must choose which version of herself she’ll allow to exist… and which one she’ll leave behind. tropes: Portal fantasy / real world to Fae World cross over - Fae realm / fae politics - Dragons / dragon riders - Morally grey MMC - Fated mates - Enemies-to-lovers - Slow-burn tension/ banter → spicy payoff - Love triangle / torn between two loves - Sexual awakening - Power discovery / hidden magic/ trauma, Health & healing - High Lord / royal court intrigue/ war tensions - Protective, possessive energy - Forced proximity (environment + court dynamics) Content Warnings: rape/SA, forced impregnation (reproductive coercion), pregnancy loss/miscarriage, dubcon, coercion/manipulation, bondage/restraint, voyeurism, partner sharing (MFMM), graphic violence/gore, cancer & death from cancer, explicit sex, strong language, death/execution, medical/surgery themes.
