After saving Archduke Kaelen, Silver Dragon priestess Elara is repaid with betrayal: he massacres her entire sanctuary and kills her. Reborn seven days before the tragedy, Elara refuses to repeat her mistake. She lets Kaelen leave before his poison is fully cured, setting his death in motion, then enters the imperial court and uses her healing magic to gain Emperor Valerius’s trust. But the Emperor is just as ruthless and calculating. Trapped between two powerful men, Elara turns their schemes against them, destroys Kaelen, outwits Valerius, and rises from sacrificial healer to the first ruling Empress of the Silver Dragon Empire.
