Avaris Quin, the eldest daughter of a noble family, lives a life shaped by duty and quiet obedience, until the Empire enforces a brutal law that sacrifices firstborn children for war: The Primogeniture Tribute to the Holy Front. After her arranged marriage collapses, she witnesses the Empire's cruelty firsthand, loses her father in a violent purge, and is taken to the forbidden Sanctuary, a place ruled by supernatural beings who decide who lives and who dies. Left for dead, Avaris survives in a way she should not. She soon learns that the sanctuary is no refuge, but a prison built on prophecy and sacrifice. As dark forces reveal that her suffering was not accidental-that she was deliberately chosen, Avaris realizes her survival may be the very thing capable of unraveling the system meant to destroy her. As time passes, the truth of the Empire, its people, and their fragile mortality begins to fracture, replaced by something vast and unnamed. What was buried does not remain silent. Secrets rise from blood-soaked earth, revealing themselves piece by piece. The story begins not with hope but with reckoning.

The home she once loved is calling her back, but the "Velvet Trap" Conrad has built around her heart is too tight to break. Can she really leave the man who saved her, or is she destined to stay forever in a life that isn't hers?

Feared in boardrooms and hated in silence, 26-year-old CEO Evelyn Vireaux built an empire with an iron will and a cruel tongue. But no amount of power or wealth could stop the truth-she was dying. Terminal illness claimed her body, but not her soul. When Evelyn opens her eyes again, it's not in a hospital bed-but in a different world, inside the body of Selene Astera, the frail and neglected daughter of Duke Astera. Mocked by servants, scorned by her siblings, and invisible to society, Selene was as powerless as Evelyn had once been ruthless. Now reborn in a world of nobility and magic, the soul of a cold-blooded CEO simmers beneath Selene's soft smile. They wanted a weak girl to ignore. They'll get a villainess they'll never forget.
