I was bred to obey.

My husband burned me alive for crimes I never committed. The cousin I raised like a sister stood at his side with satisfaction in her eyes while my child died inside me. The court I trusted watched in silence.

I woke up months before my execution with fire in my blood and the memory of everyone who abandoned me.

They stole my inheritance. They took my name. They planned to discard me the moment I stopped being useful. The people who should have protected me were the first to light the match.

Now I know what they are. Now I know what I am.

An ancient power woke when I burned. A destiny my enemies thought they destroyed with my bloodline. I am the last of my house, and I will not kneel again.

Caelan Vorenthal is my husband's greatest rival. He saw the truth when no one else would. 
He is dangerous and he should be my enemy. But he stepped forward when the whole court stayed silent, and that made him something far more complicated. 

I will play the devoted wife until I can drag my husband before the Empress and demand the divorce he never saw coming. I will take back everything they stole and make them watch as I rise from the ashes they made of me.

I was bred to obey.
I was reborn to reign.

She remembers the flames. She remembers who lit them. She remembers the child she lost and the family that betrayed her.

Now destiny has given her a second chance, and mercy is no longer in her vocabulary.

Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know that today's chapter will be delayed. I ended up attending some year-end party schedules and lost track of time.


I want to make sure the next chapter is solid before it goes up, so I'll be resuming updates tomorrow instead.


Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. I really appreciate you being here.
