    ——

    Emma Swan wasn't looking to be saved, just to disappear. A town like this, hidden beneath layers of silence and secrets, seemed perfect. No questions. No noise. No one to notice the bruises of her past. But she didn't know about the night. About the rules. About her.

    They warned Emma not to go out after dark. Said the forest had eyes. Said the vampire who ruled this place would hunt her. Kill her.

    When Emma's past comes back to haunt her, maybe having cryptids on her side aren't so bad.

    Summary

    When Emma Swan falls through Zelena's time portal, she lands somewhere she never expected: the Enchanted Forest, years before the curse, in the court of the Evil Queen herself.
    Posing as a mysterious traveler with nothing to lose, Emma talks her way into the one thing no one else in the kingdom can offer — the Queen's trust. What starts as a calculated gamble becomes something neither of them is prepared for, as Emma finds herself falling for a woman the rest of the realm only knows how to fear.
    But Emma is carrying more secrets than anyone in this kingdom realizes, and every day she stays is a day she's not supposed to exist. With time running out and an entire timeline hanging in the balance, Emma will have to decide how much of the truth she's willing to risk — and what she's willing to give up to protect a future only she can see coming.
    A Swan Queen story about the courage it takes to love someone fully, the cost of the truths we don't say soon enough, and what happens when borrowed time finally runs out.

    “Look at you,” Emma whispered, “Already soaking wet and from what, a little choking? Or is it the manhandling that gets you going, hm?” She grinned, teasingly scraping her teeth against Regina’s neck.
