As the High Saint of Rodd, Fiene was her nation’s hope and Prince Arnold’s fiancé. But after she sacrificed her own life force to break an elven curse ravaging Arnold’s body, she was left with only a sliver of time to live. Her reward? A broken engagement and the brand of a war criminal.

Fleeing the palace for her life, she is intercepted by Victor, the stunningly beautiful elf who cast the curse in the first place. As their meeting begins to reshape her dying fate, a new figure emerges in the kingdom.

A mysterious noblewoman known as “Black Rose” arrives, trailing a handsome companion. She bears the exact face of Fiene, the woman the world now curses as its “Greatest Villainess.”
