They call me Aurelia Aurelius, but the face in the mirror feels like a mask. My mind is a cage, filled with the memories of another woman's life and the chilling knowledge from a book she once read-a book that details my future as a villain, destined for a gruesome death.
I am a character in a story I refuse to let be written. Trapped in a gilded court of smiling enemies and betrothed to a prince who is a stranger to me, I use this cursed foreknowledge to rebel. But my every act of defiance is met with cruel retaliation from a goddess determined to keep the story on its path, and my attempts to save the innocent have led to their deaths, leaving me to drown in guilt.
A devastating power awakens within me, a secret my family has hidden for years.
