Harper Langford died believing she had saved a stranger — and lost everything: her health, her child, and her dowry — all to a cruel plot hatched by her husband and his mistress. Reborn at the moment before she once leapt into the frozen lake, Harper now faces a choice: play the grieving wife again, or seize the chance for calculated, patient revenge. She will learn poison and politics, recruit debts and favors, and watch those who betrayed her wither beneath the very comforts they stole. But can she keep herself from becoming what she hates most? Who will she save this time — the pale memory of a child, or her own hard-earned justice? A cold promise. A second life. How far would you go to take back everything you were robbed of?
