Elaria Caldora grew up surrounded by the love of her father, Grand Duke Vallan Caldora. Despite living in one of the most powerful duchies in the kingdom, there was one person who had never been a part of her life: her own mother. Grand Duchess Dyenna Caldora was known for her cruelty, unpredictable temper, and deep disdain for everyone around her. She had completely isolated herself from the world, and when Elaria finally met her as a child, she received only one cold command. "Go away!" Years later, mother and daughter would meet one final time at Dyenna's funeral. Among the belongings left behind by the woman everyone believed to be a monster, Elaria discovers a diary. And as she turns its pages, she learns a truth she could have never imagined. Isolated, manipulated, and tormented by her own husband, Dyenna had lost everything that once made her who she was. The woman Elaria knew as a villain was nothing more than the result of years of suffering. Consumed by guilt for never having tried to understand her mother, Elaria decides that she will not allow the man responsible for destroying her family to continue living. But when her own life comes to an end, something impossible happens. Elaria awakens once again. She is only five years old. Her mother is still alive. Her father is still loved and respected throughout the duchy. This time, Elaria will not make the same mistakes. She will save her mother before it is too late.
