A Queen’s Death. A Prince’s Gambit. A Love That Defies Time Itself.
Magna, the exiled princess of storm-wracked Korythae, dies with her father’s arrow in her chest—betrayed by the husband she loved, Xianthos’ Crown Prince Lucien. But death is not the end.
She awakens five years earlier, on the day she first arrived in Xianthos as a reluctant peace bride. This time, she’ll uncover the truth behind Lucien’s treachery, even if it means wedding his dangerous half-brother—the exiled Prince Leolvhant, a silver-tongued rogue with secrets darker than the Obsidian Tear gemstone he holds.
But Leolvhant remembers too.
Reborn with memories of his own death, he knows the apocalyptic war looming over their three kingdoms. He knows the sacred stones—Sky-Turquoise, Ember-Jade, and Storm-Onyx—hold the key to salvation. And he knows the cruelest truth of all: to save Magna, he may need to sacrifice the brother he once loved.
As courtly schemes unravel and ancient magic awakens, Magna and Leolvhant must navigate a lethal dance of half-truths and simmering desire. But when the ghosts of their past lives return with vengeance in their hearts, the line between enemy and ally blurs.
In a world where love and betrayal are two sides of the same blade, survival demands an impossible choice: break the cycle of bloodshed… or become the monster that ends it.
