Lyra was never meant to be a witch—only a modern forensic doctor thrown into another age and trapped in the body of Lila. But with her violet eyes, she can summon the undead and uncover how each person truly died. Branded and hunted, she exposes the church’s hidden plot, earns the favor of the saintly ghost Cecile, and crosses paths with Alaric of Blackstone Fortress. Piece by piece, she reveals the king’s forbidden secret of immortality, forged through hearts and souls. From ruin to uprising, she leads the dead in revenge, ends the rule of terror, and becomes the sovereign who rules over life and death alike.
