Mingshin outsmarted three princes to help the man she loved become king. But she doesnât see Renâs betrayal coming, not until sheâs lying in a pool of her own blood on the palace steps. As sheâs dying, Mingshin makes a desperate plea to the gods to turn back time and give her a chance to make things right. Mingshin wakes up two years earlier, her prayer granted, and swears two things: Ren will never become king, and she will never fall in love again. But the timeline in this life has changed: a dignitary gifted with dark magic is threatening her kingdomâs peace, and Renâs thirst for power runs deeper than Mingshin could have imagined. She finds herself allying with Jieh, another contender for the throne. Mingshin knows better than anyone not to give her heart to a prince. But in the viperâs nest of the royal court, she and Jieh prove a phenomenal team. Can Mingshin avert the catastrophe of her past by once again learning to trustâŚand maybe even love? Master storyteller Kate Chenli introduces a singular YA heroine in this vividly rendered and utterly original new fantasy series.
