A Soul that Crossed Two Worlds

When overworked modern-day woman Cali Mendoza wakes up in a palace of jade and silence, the last thing she expects is to be called Princess Xian Ruo—the sleeping daughter of the Xianzhou Empire, who once gave her life at age ten to protect her sister from a Dream-Eater of Stillness.



Worse still, Cali has no Qi.

No power.

No say in the life she’s now expected to lead.



She remembers everything Xian Ruo lived up until her death. But none of this—the palace, the war, the weight of a kingdom’s hope—was ever her choice.



Her only compass:

A war-hardened sister.

A forgotten name.

And a legacy that demands she become someone else to save a world that isn't hers.



Two souls.

Two timelines.

One body.

And a fate that might devour them both.
