In the heart of the Avesta Empire, Layla, Princess of the Everdale duchy, is burdened by a past she cannot escape. Betrayed by her family and left for dead, she is granted a second chance at life, five years before her tragic end. Armed with the bitter knowledge of what is to come, she returns to the gilded cage of Everdale, determined to rewrite her destiny. But can she navigate the treacherous currents of noble society and escape the fate that awaits her, or is she doomed to repeat the past?
The scent of ink and old paper hangs heavy in the air of the Everdale castle, a familiar and unwelcome aroma.
You stand in your room, the feeling of lace against your skin a tangible reminder of your impossible return. You are twenty years old again, five years before the events that led to your death in a cold monastery.
Your personal maid hums a tune you haven't heard in years, her presence a ghost of a life you thought was lost forever.
The butler's voice breaks the quiet, pulling you back to a past you desperately want to change.
"My lady, master duke has asked for your presence."
