Vivianne, the illegitimate daughter of the late Count Rothschild, has endured relentless suffering since plague claimed her father and mother. Reduced to servitude within her own family's mansion, her circumstances worsen when her ruthless stepbrother—now Count—coerces her into matrimony with the brutal emperor Dietrich Erengrad. Yet Dietrich refuses to accept Vivianne as his true mate, unable to tolerate her rare pheromones that continue to ensnare other alpha werewolves despite his mark upon her. Cast into the imperial palace without a protector, Vivianne drowns in torment as uncontrollable heats ravage her body and lustful alphas exploit her relentlessly. After three harrowing years trapped in this abyss, Vivianne surrenders to despair and takes her final breath—but not before cursing her abusers with her dying wish: should fate grant her another life, let her persecutors face damnation far worse than her own. The gods answer her prayer. Reincarnated three months before her agony commenced, Vivianne awakens with knowledge of her tragic past and unwavering resolve. This time, she will dismantle her cursed fate, whatever the sacrifice demands.
