The Empress has died-betrayed and slain by the people closest to her. But one day, by some cruel twist of fate, Athelina wakes up and finds herself alive...in another girl's body. Now, she returns to the glimmering grand halls as Clarisse Lorraine, to where she encounters old faces and new threats. But none shakes her resolve like the playful yet unreadable Duke who was once her most trusted knight, but perhaps, at times, someone much more.
