Seren Aveline Caelum was supposed to die-a villainess framed for treason, executed beneath the jeering eyes of the court, abandoned by her father, and betrayed by her fiancé.
But death, as it turns out, was only the beginning.
Waking up two years before her execution with every memory intact, Seren is determined to survive this time. No plotting. No poison. No doomed engagement to the golden-boy hero who left her to rot. Her plan? Avoid drama. Avoid nobles. Avoid the Crown Prince.
...Until she accidentally signs a magical contract with her father's annoying protégé-an infuriating knight named Lucien who just so happens to be the Crown Prince in disguise. Whoops.
Now bound to a man she doesn't trust and still being hunted by a fate that wants her dead, Seren must rewrite her story-while fending off unwanted suitors, court politics, and the occasional crumpet-based argument over whether jam or cream goes first. (It's cream. Obviously.)
With an emotionally repressed war-hero father, a secretive not-so-fake fiancé, and a former heroine-turned-best-friend watching her every move, Seren's life has officially gone off-script.
And if she's going to avoid execution this time, she'll need more than clever lies and magical contracts.
She'll need to survive love.
