Elena Carter never imagined that her greatest archaeological discovery would be herself—reborn in the body of Selene Vasari, the infamous villainess of history.

In the modern world, she was a brilliant but overworked researcher. In this one, she is the cursed fiancée of the aloof Crown Prince, a man destined to die young. According to history, Selene’s desperate attempt to make him love her led to betrayal, heartbreak, and ultimately, her execution.

But Elena refuses to meet the same tragic end. Armed with knowledge from the future, she is determined to change their fate—to unravel palace secrets, outwit her enemies, and win the prince’s trust before destiny claims him.

Yet, as she gets closer to the cold and unreadable prince, she discovers something shocking—perhaps the history books didn’t tell the whole story. Perhaps he has secrets of his own.

And perhaps… she was never meant to change fate, but to fall in love with it.

First and foremost, I want to sincerely apologize for the long silence and lack of updates on my novel. I know many of you have been eagerly waiting, and I truly appreciate your patience and continued support.


The reason for my absence is that my device got damaged, and I had to focus on raising funds to get a new one. Just when I finally managed to replace it, I had to report for NYSC, Nigeria's compulsory national service for all  graduates. It was a hectic 3 weeks orientation program, and unfortunately, I had little to no time to write during that period.


Now that I'm back and settled, I'm ready to dive back into writing and bring you new chapters as consistently as I can. Thank you so much for sticking with me through it all. I'm truly grateful for each one of you.
