She gave Monarch everything. Now she has to take it all back.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng can't forgive herself-not after mistaking Felix for Adrien and handing him the Dog Miraculous. Not after Monarch used it to steal her yoyo... and every other Miraculous with it. Paris is vulnerable. The heroes are scattered. And Marinette? She's lost in a maze of guilt she can't escape.
But when she unexpectedly lands a job at the prestigious Gabriel Fashion House, Marinette begins to unravel more than fabric. Whispers, secrets, and familiar faces start drawing her closer to the truth-about Monarch, about Adrien, and about herself.
To protect Paris, Marinette must face her greatest failure-and maybe rediscover a love she thought was gone forever.
Will she rise from her regrets... or be consumed by them?
A Miraculous Ladybug fanfic full of heartbreak, redemption, slow-burn romance, and one very dangerous secret.
