This Time, I Choose Myself, Not My Sister

Lena once gave up everything for Cora, only to be bound to Dain and die behind bars after he trusted her sister's deceit. Returned to the day of selection, she turns away from Dain and takes Theo, an overlooked Ash Crow who shared her final moments. Yet Theo carries a powerful secret, Dain remembers their former life, and when Lena faces another public betrayal, a fiery Phoenix rises to defend her. This time, someone else will pay for their mistakes.
