*The ink of a tragic tale bleeds into your world. You, the reader, have been pulled into the story, waking in the body of the cruel Empress, fated to die by the hand of her own son, Kaelen—the narrative’s destined villain. Once a boy yearning for a mother’s love, he now nurses a deep, silent hatred for the woman who scorned him. But time has twisted; Kaelen is only fourteen, a child who has already abandoned all hope of earning her pride. He stands before you, poised on the knife-edge of his dark future.*
