The Tyrant's Comfort Doll

An ancient prophecy foretells that a man born with black hair and crimson eyes will bring devastation to the royal family of Den Helder. Bearing these exact features, Prince Rayton is ostracized by the palace and branded as cursed. Years of bitter resentment culminate in a violent coup d'état, during which the powerless youngest princess, Setz, falls victim to his blade. However, instead of meeting her end, she awakens to find herself thrust back into her own body five years prior to the massacre. Armed with foreknowledge of her grim fate, Setz resolves to alter history by earning the feared prince’s favor before his wrath can consume them all. Piercing through Rayton’s icy demeanor proves difficult, yet once Setz finally breaches his defenses, his growing attachment to her becomes absolute and irreversible. But surviving the prince is only half the battle. As their bond deepens, Setz finds herself drawn into a web of sinister conspiracies festering within the palace walls. Though she has been granted a second chance at life, the young princess must now navigate treacherous political shadows far deadlier than the sword that killed her, leaving one question unanswered: has she truly escaped her doom, or merely traded it for a more perilous fate?
