In the wake of their grandfather’s death, the Aufrey twins discovered that magic was real. They did what any college freshman would do and took a risk. Of course, they didn’t know how high the stakes were. In the Faerie Woods, there are worse fates than failure and death. Their bloodline is the only thing that saves them when things go wrong. One stays there, captive in a world she used to dream about. The other goes home, to a world they never really knew, desperate to save her sister’s soul before it’s too late. What to Expect: Mistakes. Consequences. Fae, of the vindictive sort. Sphinxes, party cults, and tragically broken characters.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 50–149 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
