"That all depends."

"On what?"

"Have you even read my books?"

"Of course I have. Every single one."

LIKE IT OR NOT, GOTHAM IS HOME. Rosalind Pennyworth has lived there her entire life. Leaving is technically an option. But she can't bring herself to be far from her father. Or from him. Rosalind Pennyworth and Bruce Wayne were best friends. But neither of them would ever admit it. They grew up together, two strange kids who lost more than one ever should. But they had each other. And that was enough. Was.

FIVE BOOKS IN JUST SEVEN YEARS. That's how many Rosalind has written. She's known for her captivating thriller, horror, and mystery novels. Her last book was one of her best, selling more than any of her other books combined. A detective mystery with a masked hero. The fans want a sequel. Her editor wants a sequel. Hell, even her father wants a sequel. But writers block strikes at the worst moments.

BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. The last two years have been the fastest and strangest of her life. She knows who the Batman is. And for some reason her father is just letting it all happen. Rosalind disapproves. She wants nothing to do with it but her curiosity and loyalty ropes her in every single time. The main character of her book may or may not be based on a certain caped crusader. But he doesn't have to know that.

DANGER IS RISING FASTER THAN EVER.  The Riddler strikes time and time again. At first, Rosalind is forced to watch everything from afar. But then the murders start to suspiciously follow the events of her books. So, Gotham's vigilante pulls her into the case. He keeps going back to her for help. She knows how killers work, she's written her fair share of them. He keeps going back to her for help. She's patched him up more times than he can count. He keeps going back to her for help. She's the only one who really knows the real him. He keeps going back to her.

GOTHAM'S FALL IS APPROACHING.
So is Rosalind's book deadline. But the time for writing dwindles. There's suddenly a target on her back and he keeps trying to step in front of it. But she won't let him. Besides, if she lives, maybe she can turn this into another bestseller.
