Her own mother and brother had her tortured to death in the shadows. Now Claire Hartwell is back from the grave, reborn with every memory of their betrayal burned into her soul. A stolen identity. A twisted scheme. A throne soaked in blood. No longer the gentle princess they destroyed, she will tear through every lie with cold fury and unforgiving steel. War is coming. Enemies wear familiar faces. And this time, she'll take the crown... or burn the empire to ash.
