Since time immemorial, nobody had ever surpassed death. They invented sorcery to bridge the chasm between them and divinity, yet none came close to escaping the clutches of the Great Reaper. It was all until Eva Alaine, a broken and curious soul, woke up in a coffin of petals with a crown atop her head. No longer a mere peasant, Eva sought to solve the mystery of her rebirth. It is now up to her and her newfound family to win the cruel game of society. Control her, kill her, or worship her; everyone had their own agenda. Religions will bend their belief, and the parliament will ignore the law, all for the sake of solving the riddle of the princess who defied death. The faith and harmony of the world hang in jeopardy as everybody made their play. In a massive chess game of power and influence, those who have wits will reign as the victor. Each stroke of her pen etched the anthologies of her adventures. Each page of her diary held joy, sorrow, and growth. Each act in her story was an effort to redemption. {AWARDS WON} Black Cat Awards || 1st Place Fantasy Coalition Awards || 1st Place Fantasy Luna Awards || 1st Place Fantasy Coalition Awards || 1st Place Fantasy Banana Awards || 2nd Place Fantasy Debonair Accord || 3rd Place Fantasy
