My fingers were still tangled in silken sheets, the scent of sandalwood and sin clinging to my skin. I didn’t remember his name—only the shock of waking up beside a stranger in a room filled with antique astrolabes and ticking clocks. I bolted upright, heart slamming against my ribs. This wasn’t my life. This wasn’t my time.

Back in my chambers, I stared at my reflection. Same face, same scars—but everything else changed. If this world gave me a second chance, I wouldn’t waste it. Not this time.
