Princess Thalia’s life ended in fire and betrayal. But for her, death was not the end—it was a second chance.

Waking up one year in the past, she is the sole keeper of a horrifying secret: the king, her own father, is about to unleash an apocalypse. To stop him, she must transform herself from the forgotten, useless princess everyone despises into a master of magic and intrigue.

Her only hope lies chained in the darkness beneath the palace—a legendary elven warrior, the last of his kind, broken by a centuries-old curse. He is a weapon she must wield, a secret she must protect, and a soul whose fate is inexplicably tied to her own.

As they forge a desperate alliance, their combined power awakens ancient magic and a forbidden love that could unite their peoples. But in a world of whispering shadows and monstrous creatures, their bond may be the very thing that triggers the doom they are trying to prevent.

For in a battle against fate itself, the price of saving the world may be everything they have come to love.
