Twin Queens Under the Magic Mirror

He killed his queen. Then her twin sister walked into the palace wearing her face. Augustus owes his throne to the Kaedron family's army — and he repaid them by butchering his pregnant queen, Livia, draining her magic, and dressing it up as a suicide. What he never counted on was Livia's twin sister, Sera: a northern general who has spent her life commanding legions in armor, fighting with steel and spell alike. Sera returns to the capital, opens her sister's coffin, and learns the truth — including the blood curse Livia carved into her own wrist with her last breath. Then she does the unthinkable: she walks into the funeral and rises from the dead as the queen, leaning on the one thing the sisters shared, a soul imprint so alike that even the magic mirror can't tell them apart. Inside the palace, she rules by military law — purging the harem, slapping the king's favorite mistress across the face, and flogging the tyrant himself in front of his own court, daring anyone to prove she isn't who she claims to be. Every test they throw at her — the truth mirror, impostor plots, a poisoned dowager empress, betrayal — she survives. And behind her stands Prince Adrian, the rightful heir who has waited years to take back the crown his brother stole from him. But the deeper Sera goes, the more dangerous it gets: one wrong move, and the man she's deceiving will burn her at the stake. She came to avenge a queen. She'll leave as one — and she won't be ruling alone.
