Her whole life, Juli Azure had been trying to become the worthy heir to the wealthy and powerful Duchy of Azure, yet even as the firstborn child, she failed, only to be upstaged by her more talented step-sister, Collette. On her journey to the top, she ended up being despised by the whole Kingdom of Flitzul. Her health shattered due to her step-mother's constant influence, and she was bullied and hated into a villain. She was used and broken over and over again, until finally, she became the villain her tormentors wanted her to become. Then, she was executed for a forbidden magic crime she never committed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, Juli was given a second chance by the gods. She regressed back into her twelve-year-old body, and she had come back to pay a blood debt. But as she attempts to get her life in order, and get revenge on her killers, she realizes there's a much bigger ploy at hand, and that she was only a pawn. As Juli gains new powers and allies, she realizes her situation becomes more and more precarious. A sly prince, a calculating young master, a jealous stepsister, and a rogue demigod are only a few of the obstacles Juli knows she has to clear to live a peaceful life. Yet what if it is too much to handle? Can she take over her beloved Azure Duchy? Can she navigate through complex social politics, magic overload, daily life interactions, first crushes, and a looming evil before it's too late? As the Eye of Azure, Juli can sense the danger she's wading into. But will taking a high risk lead her to a greater reward?
