Eira Kingston, a lethal assassin marked for death, awakens in an impossible reality. Her consciousness inhabits Ephyra Allen's body—the disgraced eldest daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. A mysterious mechanical voice claims mastery over her soul, revealing her resurrection into her original form. Eira dismisses it as death-induced delirium until awakening in a hospital bed, flooded with memories that don't belong to her. Ephyra's existence is a nightmare. Despite legitimate birth, she's branded a bastard and abandoned by her own family while a conniving stepsister seduces their father and steals her betrothed. The Allen family empire was built by Ephyra's late mother—she survives solely due to an inheritance locked away until her eighteenth birthday arrives. Eira refuses to accept such a cursed fate. She'll claim the inheritance rightfully hers, destroy every adversary who damaged Ephyra, and uncover her own assassin's killer. Survival is her weapon; vengeance is her oath. Yet existing as a defenseless high schooler with nothing restrains her. Even lethal assassin skills prove insufficient against powerful enemies. The answer arrives through an unexpected contract: marriage to Lyle Aelion, an enigmatic and dangerous force commanding the business world. Beneath his composed facade hides a secret illness draining his life away. Impossibly, one cure exists for his mysterious condition—and it's connected exclusively to Eira's scent, binding them in ways neither could foresee.
