Just before her 17th birthday, Count’s daughter Adelienne is chosen by the third prince of the mighty Dragonkin, rulers of the world, to become his fated mate (番 / “ban”). But instead of joy, her new life brings only cruelty. Scorned as weak and unworthy by the dragons of the Sky Castle, and completely ignored by the prince she was destined for, Adelienne’s life ends in tragedy—poisoned, unloved, and alone. Two hundred and fifty years later, she is reborn as a human once again. When she receives an invitation to a royal Dragonkin ball—a ceremony to identify new mates—her past-life memories come flooding back. “Of all the places, I had to reincarnate into the same world... If they find me again, I’ll be killed—just like last time!” Determined to escape her fate, Adelienne searches for a way out. But the truth behind her death... and the bond she never understood... is about to be revealed. A reincarnation fantasy of regret, revenge, and a fated love that defies time.
