Sonya von Valentine, the imperial princess, was once an ordinary girl—until she died saving a stranger and awakened in a world of power and peril. Reincarnated into the royal family, she carries the weight of foreknowledge: her family is doomed to fall, overthrown by a rising darkness. The man leading this destruction? Austin Ravenclaw—the feared duke of the empire’s strongest ducal house and the harbinger of war.
Austin, too, remembers. A ruthless strategist, he knows his destiny is to bring the empire to its knees. Yet, in this life, he also remembers the girl who once gave her life for his. Bound by fate, but standing on opposite sides, their reunion is neither gentle nor kind.
They were never meant to be allies. But as the war inches closer, and their paths intertwine once more, the line between love and duty begins to blur. Betrayal and devotion. Loyalty and treason. They are both trapped in the cycle of fate—two souls destined to destroy each other.
