Latil always expected to marry Hyacinth and rule the neighboring empire, Karisen, by his side. So when Hyacinth marries someone else, Latil vows to make him regret it. She secures her position as the emperor of Tarium and shocks everyone by instituting a Harem of five consorts competing to win her hand in marriage. Each consort does all in their power to earn her affection, and while her heart wavers among them, she is unsettled by sightings of supernatural beings across the empire. As Latil herself begins developing abnormal powers, she learns her abilities could be connected to the legend of an evil that is reborn every five hundred years. In a complicated world of secrets, horrific monsters, and mysterious reincarnations, Latil must fight to keep her empire safe, and discern who she can trust-and who she can love.
