Secret 101 - Ouroboros

A meta-Fantasy where first-time authors discover their characters are getting real - and editing back! Think Inception meets Groundhog Day, with the thunder of American Gods... and Deadpool as your Romance coach.
When magazine editor Rou Everett discovers she's a character in Maurllan's latest novel, her red pen suddenly has more power than just fixing Oxford commas.
And that mysterious, brooding author who can reshape reality with a paragraph? He's either her soulmate or her nemesis - possibly both.
Armed with an editorial team that includes a chocolate-obsessed mystic and a martial artist with a flair for breaking Fourth Walls (along with a few bones), Rou dares to do the unthinkable: edit her own destiny. But in a world where every word has magickal consequences and even coffee shops might be fictional, falling in love with your author is probably not the wisest career move.
As Rou and her staff of literary rebels race to outsmart their enigmatic puppet master, they'll face dangers more terrifying than deadline crunch, mysterious assassins who take "ghost-writing" way too literally, and a bartender whose cocktails might just be bending reality (or at least making it more bearable).
But what really sets "Maurllan's Spell" apart is its meta-narrative structure. Maurllan doesn't just break the Fourth Wall - he sledgehammers it, rebuilds it, then breaks it again for good measure. The story constantly folds in on itself like a literary Möbius strip, blurring the lines between Author, Cast, and Reader until you're not quite sure where you fit in the narrative. I found myself checking the margins for my own thoughts, half-expecting to see them scribbled there in red ink.
Will Rou master the art of narrative seduction before the final chapter? Can love survive when it's written in editable ink? And why does everyone keep insisting the marginalia are trying to tell us something?
Welcome to "Maurllan's Spell," where the power of the pen meets the magick of the heart, and happily-ever-after comes with extensive revision notes.
