22 parts Ongoing Disclaimer: This novel involves abuse, sexual abuse and suicide.
A destiny I never chose. A life I never wanted. A heart I swore never to give again.
Death should have been my release. Instead, I awoke in another world... in another body... in another life.
It should have been a second chance.
But scars don't fade just because the skin is new. The memories still haunt me, silent shadows that twist my every thought, every fear, every breath. I care for no one. I trust nothing. I wish only for an end... yet something, some cruel, invisible force always pulls me back from the edge. I am a pawn dressed in silk and gold, forced into a game I never agreed to play.
But even in a heart frozen by trauma, the warmth of life begins to seep in. Slowly, I begin to feel again. To breathe again. To hope.
Then fate strikes once more.
Another decision, made without me. Another future, sealed by hands not my own. And I realize... I may have escaped death, but not destiny.
In a world of monsters, thrones and betrayal, can a shattered soul carve her own fate or will the past always bind her to a future she never wanted?
