Death came swiftly, but instead of peace, there was pain. The next breath belonged to a broken noble girl named Seraphina. Beaten, discarded, and left to die by the very family meant to protect her.

This second chance was something I had always wanted, but not in the body of someone so fragile. Navigating this world is like walking a battlefield. Nobles lie through smiles, and power alone decides who gets to breathe another day. Vulnerability is a constant, and trust is something even rarer.

And yet, survival became possible because he found me.

Noah Velmoure… Someone who appeared cold to everyone, an untouchable presence that people feared. His power could bring down kingdoms, yet every gesture was in my favor. Problems vanish before they ever arrive. Commands are carried out without question. No threat ever reaches me.

My past still lingers, echoing with memories of a life once lived as a man in a world that never saw me as anything more than a burden.

This connection defies reason. Part of me resists, caught between what once was and what feels undeniably wrong. The other begins to soften, holding on to the hope that maybe this is something I’ve always needed. A quiet part of me starts to wonder if this life could offer more than I ever expected.

Survival came first. Then came stability, the quiet steps toward something stronger. In time, I would find myself and rise to heights I never thought possible.

This story is fully in the POV of Seraphina. I wont be jumping around at all and the reader will only understand what she knows. I've already completed the rough draft of the entire novel, so look forward to a completed book after edited. This story was by far my favorite to write and I can't wait for everyone else to enjoy it.
