Summary |
When sixteen-year-old Migshin wakes up two years before her murder, she seeks to prevent all the horrors she unwittingly set in motion, but the timeline has changed, forcing her to use her intellect and wit to ensure the wrong man does not once again become king. |
|
Mingshin outsmarted three princes to help the man she loved become king-- but she does not see Ren's betrayal coming, not until she is lying in a pool of her own blood on the palace steps. As she lay dying, Mingshin makes a desperate plea to the gods to turn back time and give her a chance to make things right. She 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 this is a different life: a dignitary gifted with dark magic is threatening her kingdom's peace, and Ren's thirst for power runs deeper than Mingshin could have imagined. -- adapted from jacket |
