Master of Minds, Master of Me

Blessed by the God of Creation, Lorelia Helesantra should have inherited eternal happiness. Instead, she's imprisoned within a curse—a merciless cycle of two years endlessly repeating, where death and rebirth become her only constants.

Desperate for escape, she surrenders to faith, believing that devotion alone can shatter her chains. Then a letter arrives. It draws her into the Royal Palace as a Queen candidate, thrusting her into the proximity of Crown Prince Felix—the man whose destiny is to obliterate everything. His radiant smile conceals a darkness that only Lorelia recognizes from the fractured memories of her loops.

Each moment near him becomes dangerous. His lingering gaze tempts her. His words seduce her faith into silence. And as Lorelia teeters on the edge of surrender, she's forced to confront an agonizing question: Is the true architect of her suffering the curse that binds her... or the Crown Prince who refuses to let her go?

A dark romance woven from faith, sin, and forbidden longing—where redemption may require the ultimate surrender.
