The Empress of Ashes

Eilec's world ends the day his beloved wife, Rose, perishes in flames. Consumed by grief and fury, he hunts down and slaughters everyone who bears any responsibility for her death. Yet instead of peace, he awakens in the past—granted a second chance to rewrite the future he thought was lost. He knows the surest way to avoid repeating his mistakes is to let Rose go. But a life without her is unimaginable, and Eilec resolves to defy fate with her at his side. That choice proves devastating. When Rose's memories return, she realizes her husband has cast her back into the treacherous world of nobility and its ruthless political scheming—for the second time. In that moment, Eilec understands the gravity of his error. Hatred and resentment blaze in Rose's eyes, burning nearly as fierce as the fire that once claimed her life. Will she find it in her heart to forgive the husband she loved, or will she reduce everything to ashes—even him?
