Summary
Death is supposed to be an ending. For Mara, it's just another beginning.
Thrust into a world she once loved from the safety of pages, Mara finds herself centuries before the story she knows. The Court of Dreams is younger here, unburdened by the traumas that will define them. Rhysand hasn't yet learned to wear a monster's mask. Cassian and Azriel haven't yet been forged by fifty years of helpless watching. And Mor is still the golden girl everyone believes in.
But knowledge is a dangerous weapon, and wielding it will cost more than she imagined. Because the Court of Dreams wasn't built on trust. It was built on secrets, compromises, and carefully maintained lies. And when Mara pulls the thread of fate, the whole tapestry unravels. Some bonds can only be forged in fire. Some monsters only reveal themselves in peacetime. And sometimes, saving the people you love means watching them become strangers.
OR
How saving someone can break them. How changing fate doesn't erase the darkness already inside us. And how sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is give people exactly what they think they want.
