Althea never expected to die so suddenly, only to wake up in the body of an 8-year-old aristocrat in a world that feels familiar yet strange. She is now Althea Lancefort, the eldest daughter of one of the four ducal families—but the memories of her past life are hazy, and her knowledge of this world comes only from a long-forgotten romance novel she once read.
The novel's story was tragic and poorly written, and now Althea must navigate her new life with only faint recollections of its events. Can she survive the dangers she dimly remembers? And if the story's cruel ending is waiting for her, can she rewrite her fate—or will she repeat history?
