A Dying Maid’s Guide to Revenge

Isabel Gemnin served her household faithfully, only to be falsely accused of murdering the countess she attended. Condemned for a crime she did not commit, she faced execution, leaving behind her cherished daughter with no one to protect her. For Isabel, death was meant to be final—a tragic end to an unjust life. Yet, instead of fading into nothingness, she opens her eyes in an entirely unfamiliar body, thrust back into a world that has moved on without her. A full decade has elapsed since her wrongful death, and the vessel she now inhabits carries its own grim expiration date: she has merely one year left to live. Bound by this fleeting second chance, Isabel must navigate a reality where she is both a stranger and a ghost from the past. Her immediate mission is clear—she must find her way back to the daughter she was forced to abandon ten years ago. However, survival demands more than just a reunion. As she searches for her child, Isabel is compelled to unravel the hidden secrets woven into her new identity, fighting against time itself to secure justice and reclaim what was stolen from her.
