Murdered by the man she loved, the man she made king, Mingshin prays for a second chance as she dies—a prayer that is granted. Awaking two years earlier, she swears to prevent Ren from becoming king and to never fall in love. But it's not easy to stop a man willing to lie, kill, and give his soul to evil magic. It's not too easy to keep from falling in love, either—even if it's with Ren's brother, also competing for the throne. Debut author Kate Chenli brings this tale to life through a vivid magical world and an unforgettable heroine. Trade Paperback Book; 5 1/2 X 8 1/4 inches; 344 pages.
