“"Heavy lies the head that wears the crown, just so happened that ours were cursed." Deyanira Valen was born into divine greatness destined to rule beside her husband. But tragedy struck when she found herself a widow on the receiving end of an axe. But she is given another shot at life when she is reborn into the modern world as Alexis Tyne where scheming nobles and impressionable subjects didn't exist. A world where she is no longer constrained by heavy responsibilities and is free to do as she wishes. This was why it was her hope that with a second chance, things could end better for her. And if she is lucky, she might find him in this time, too. When the moment comes that they meet, it's up to Alexis if she'll fight for the truth or let her guilt control her relationship with King Richard Castellane, or in this case, the billionaire Ellis Lane. Will they ever be together again, or will she let go of the past and let him live his present?”
