Duchess Koen of Servata was once the King's loyal advisor - revered, feared, and remembered as the ruthless architect behind a reign of terror. Her words sentenced thousands to a fate worse than death.
But when she lies dying on a bloodstained floor, Koen finally understands the cost of her blind loyalty to a tyrant.
She awakens years earlier, at the very start of her time beside the King. Given a second chance, Koen has the knowledge to alter the future and save countless lives. Yet redemption is dangerous-one wrong move could expose her as a traitor.
To change history, she must walk a knife's edge between obedience and rebellion, all while hiding her true intentions from the very man she once served.
Will she defy him no matter the cost or will she fall back into her old ways and take the Kingdom down with it?
A princess trained to be silent. A warrior who refuses to be tamed. A marriage neither of them wanted.
Haelyn has spent her life hiding-her sharp tongue, her defiance, and the blade she wields in secret. But when she's forced to wed Cato, a reckless noble with a dangerous smile, she finds herself trapped in a game of power, betrayal, and forbidden attraction.
He was never meant to be her ally.
She was never meant to fall for him.
But when whispers of treason threaten the throne, Haelyn must decide: trust the man who swore to protect her... or the one who swore he never stopped loving her.
And when the past comes for her, stealing the memories of the man she once knew, only one question remains-can you love someone you've forgotten?
