Selena Ardyn lived a life most women only dreamed of—the cherished daughter of a powerful family, a loving wife, and a woman adored for her kindness. To the world, she was untouchable. But behind the smiles and wealth, darkness crept closer with every passing day. Her perfect life began to unravel the moment Elira Daven, a woman she once called a sister, entered her world with poison in her heart. Elira’s friendship was nothing but a mask, hiding envy sharp enough to cut. One betrayal followed another, until Selena’s world shattered: her father murdered, her brother silenced, and the man she trusted above all else—her husband, Kael—revealed to be Elira’s accomplice. Pregnant and clinging to hope, Selena thought she had one reason left to live. But even that was ripped from her when Kael and Elira pushed her into the arms of death, her cries swallowed by the mountains. Broken, bleeding, with her last breath, Selena begged the universe for one chance to return. To make them pay. To reclaim everything they stole. And the universe answered. Reborn with the memories of her betrayal carved into her soul, Selena is no longer the naïve woman who loved too deeply and trusted too easily. This time, her heart beats for vengeance. Every smile hides a blade, every tear hides fire. She will turn her pain into power and her enemies’ love into their downfall. They think they buried her. But Selena Ardyn has only just begun to rise.
