Welcome Back, Your Highness

Xena Solaria Caelvarys is the First Princess of the empire.. born of the First Empress, feared, obeyed, and despised. With her status alone, she forced a marriage to Grey Ashborne Valcrest, a ruthless duke's son whose loyalty belongs only to the battlefield.

She got the man she wanted.
But never his heart.

Their wedding night ends in humiliation, hatred, and words that carve deeper than any blade. For the first time in her life, Xena is denied.. not by power, but by contempt.

When she wakes the next morning, everything changes.

Memories of another life return.
A life where she earned respect instead of demanding it.
A life where she died protecting someone she loved.

Realizing how ugly her reputation has become, Xena decides this life will not be trashed away.

Not to chase affection.
Not to beg for love.
Be the Empress Regent.

As rival princesses scheme, nobles whisper, and the throne looms closer than ever, the empire is about to meet a very different Xena.

Not softer.
Not kinder.
But sharper, wiser, and far more dangerous.
