Summary
Official Details
Hestia's life was never her own. Offered up as a sacrifice to quell the magic threatening to consume the world, she met her end without ever having lived for herself. Yet death was not the end—she opened her eyes once more as Cecilia, the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, carrying every memory of her past life. Whatever power or standing she once held, she now spends her days as a maid, attending to her enemy's sister—a quiet, diminished existence for a girl who has never been allowed to choose anything for herself. Then everything changes. Duke Kilian Janssen, the man Cecilia's sister was meant to marry, abruptly declares that Cecilia is the one he will take as his bride. Stranger still, when he speaks, his voice seems to overlap with one she heard long, long ago. "You make me so angry I can hardly stand it." "...Refuse if you wish. I will marry you all the same." He pursues her with the very same tactics used on her in her previous life, and his relentless demands and growing obsession keep dragging memories she tried to bury straight back to the surface. Torn between a history that haunts her and a future being forced upon her, can Cecilia heal the wounds of her past—and finally find the life and love that are truly her own?
