Qatora was once a valiant knight of the Razanate Empire who gave her life to protect a young imperial noble. The tragedy cast her into the primordial Light of Origin, which not only revealed to her a dangerous secret... but also reincarnated her! She now lives as Lyse Winslette, the humble daughter of a poor baron in a neighboring country, who is doing everything in her power to keep her distance from the empire because of the forbidden knowledge she possesses. Lyse thus works her days away at the royal palace of Olwen as a lady-in-waiting. And she’s rightfully mortified when she’s chosen to attend the visiting Razanate emperor. Little does she know that she’s about to learn another state secret that’s going to land her... an engagement to an imperial knight?! She’ll have to use all her skills—from this life and her last—to get out of this mess. Yet what is this strange feeling when she touches her fiancé’s hand? Just who is Sidis, and what secrets is HE keeping?

She’ll have to use all her skills—from this life and her last—to get out of this mess. Yet what is this strange feeling when she touches her fiancé’s hand? Just who is Sidis, and what secrets is HE keeping?

Lyse was once a knight who gave her life to protect the young emperor-to-be and his closest friend, and now she’s been reborn as the daughter of a humble baron in one of the empire’s vassal states.

Lyse has finally uncovered the root cause of the mysterious trouble around the palace and the capital—the only problem now is that she’s caught in the middle of it! Against an opponent who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals, can Lyse win on her strength alone? She just might be about to learn that two hearts are better than one. Beyond that, Lyse fears for what comes next. Defeat means the worst for Olwen and the emperor, but victory still means bidding farewell to Sidis as he and the imperial retinue return to Razanate. And after everything that’s happened, Lyse isn’t quite ready to let go yet...

The emperor’s condition is worsening, and the mana warping is beginning to affect the other imperials as well. Lyse, Sidis, and Alcede are doing their best to search out the cause of the incident, but time is of the essence. The mastermind seems to have a connection in the palace...or is something even more nefarious afoot? Lyse is determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it means risking her life again. Will she be able to keep everyone safe AND keep her true identity a secret? It may turn out that she’s not the only one hiding who they really are...
