Skin Deception

A beauty expert with a forbidden skill, Sarah Bennett was murdered by her own brother. Now, reborn on the eve of her death, she agrees to swap his face—making him a perfect replica of the beloved Prince Consort. But she's planned a slow, brutal betrayal. When his skin begins to rot and his voice cracks apart, his charade crumbles at a royal banquet. Yet Sarah's victory is short-lived. Her vengeful mother allies with a treacherous chancellor, forcing Sarah into an even deadlier plot: to swap the Emperor's face and steal the throne. One final, high-stakes trap awaits them all at the Grand Celestial Rite.
