A duke’s daughter, despised and outcast by all. A crown prince, feared by even the emperor. Juvelian is a villainess so universally hated that when she is accused of jealously poisoning the princess of the Ashet Empire, her own father leaves her to die a traitor’s death. Faced with the threat of interrogation by the infamously tyrannical Crown Prince Maximillian, she takes her own life. And that’s how the story ends — at least, that’s how it was supposed to end. Now, a reborn Juvelian has joined the cast, and she is determined to rewrite the finale. But even if she manages to change the ending, she will still need to contend with her father’s feral protégé — a young man who sees Juvelian as an obstacle to his dangerous ambitions.
