Eloise Rossach never believed she was special. As a peasant girl with no known father and the town lunatic for a mother, Eloise forged her own path in life as a traveling merchant and investor. But when she and her mother are arrested for treason and put to the executioner's axe, Eloise learns a shocking truth-that her father is Edgar Rosencrantz, the Crown Prince! Now, Eloise has reawoken seven years in the past, the day after her eighteenth birthday. To save her own life and the life of her mother, Eloise must find a way to change the course of fate. Will her cunning, ambition, and foresight be enough to navigate the perils of palace intrigue and an impending civil war? Or will her efforts only hasten the fall of the axe?
