Jacinta Ryzeftine’s life was never hers to begin with. Memories of a past existence crash down upon her, revealing the cruel truth — she has been reborn as the ill-fated third princess of the Illian Empire, a character in the tragic novel Crimson Sun. The story’s ending is certain: the guillotine waits, and so does the destruction of everyone she holds dear.

But Jacinta refuses to surrender to the pages of fate. With the weight of two lives on her shoulders, she makes a solemn vow — to shatter the prophecy that binds her and rewrite the future with her own hands.

No longer the naïve princess destined to die, she becomes a cunning player in the empire’s brutal game. Behind silken masks and shadowed corridors, she uncovers secrets that threaten to tear the empire apart. Allies emerge in unexpected places, while enemies sharpen their blades, eager to see her fall.

Time is running out, and every choice draws her closer to the story’s bloody climax. But this time, Jacinta Ryzeftine will not be the one to kneel.

Fate may have written her end, but she will write her own beginning.

Jacinta opened the book, her eyes widening in surprise. The pages were filled with concepts and illustrations that resembled scientific theories from Earth. The terms were different, but the ideas were clear enough for her to understand.

"The author of this book," she asked, curiosity burning in her gaze. "Where is he now?"

Master Ferdinand's expression softened. "Marcus William was an old friend. He wasn't gifted with magic, but his mind was extraordinary. He saw the world differently, questioned everything. Sadly, he passed away… a century ago." His fingers brushed over the edge of the table. "But his legacy lives on. Many of his theories have influenced my magical inventions."

Jacinta's hands lingered on the book's cover. "Then if you already knew everything I wrote in my letter, why meet with me at all?"
