[ON HIATUS] 

"I no longer want you." 

Emperor Richard de Tristaine fumed as he looked upon the woman he was ready to abandon just a few weeks ago. 

"You don't mean that," he gritted out through clenched teeth. 

Empress Jovine smirked at the look on her husband's face. For months, he had neglected her, trading empty words of affection to placate her yearning heart, then leaving to find company in the arms of another woman. But now, she was done with it all. Done with him. 

"I mean every word, Your Majesty." 
----
After dying an unjust death at the hands of her husband's mistress, Empress Jovine de Tristaine finds herself transported back to the past. With a burning hatred for the Emperor who discarded her and the woman who shattered her marriage, the changed Empress vows revenge. However, mysterious gaps in her memory and newfound knowledge of a corrupt political scheme within the Empire cause her to question her loyalties and the reason behind her husband's betrayal. Not only that, evidence of magic from legends as old as time, the Emperor's unexpected obsession with his wife's sudden change of heart, and a new suitor set on winning over the Empress's heart, lead her down a path of warring emotions, conflict, and power. 

Will she triumph in her quest for revenge, or is fate an inevitable course?
