She died in the snow, spat blood in the face of the man who lied to her—and swore vengeance with her last breath. Then she woke up two years earlier, under her mother’s quilt, with a calendar that proves the town’s worst day is still coming. Now Elyse Wheeler has two lives’ worth of memory, one shot to save the people she loves, and a list of names that must fall. She will learn to turn a market stall into leverage, spin small-town gossip into proof, and use a crooked lover’s own tricks to set him up. But every time she wins, another hidden hand moves. When red cord and a small, impossible boy point to forces beyond timing and grief, Elyse realizes that survival is about more than revenge—it’s about changing who she is in the next life. How do you save a life you once watched die—and stop a predator who will one day climb far beyond the village?
