Synopsis

Betrayal gets you killed in the Langley estate—and sometimes, it brings you back. When Tessa, the governor’s maid, is beaten to death for a single act of mercy, her soul returns to a hometown shattered by Savannah Langley’s cruelty. But loss breeds fury. Given a second chance, Tessa awakens at the brink of the same atrocity, determined to rewrite fate and make Savannah pay. With only her wits, the secrets of the dead, and a desperate alliance with the broken Mariah Evans, Tessa must navigate a house of killers and cowards, where every kindness is a weapon and every secret is for sale. In a world where love is used and loyalty is lethal, how far will Tessa go to save the innocent—and herself? Will vengeance set her free, or destroy what little remains of her soul?
