The start of everything
Main Character
Seraphina Ashbourne (23)
After dying in her original world, Seraphina wakes up inside the body of the empire's most hated noblewoman. She knows exactly how the story ends because she read the novel before she died. In the original plot, the villainess is executed for crimes she didn't entirely commit.
This time, Seraphina has one goal:
Survive.
But changing her fate attracts the attention of a powerful duke with dangerous secrets, and someone seems determined to make sure history repeats itself.
Male Lead
Duke Lucien Ravenshade
Cold, brilliant, feared by the entire empire. Rumors say he has never loved anyone... until Seraphina starts changing the future.
