Born to lead, a young ruler faces a kingdom ravaged by a deadly plague. She agrees to a political marriage in hopes of saving her people—but the union ends in betrayal when her new husband murders her and seizes the throne. Death, however, is not the end. Her spirit encounters a powerful god desperate to return to the mortal world. He offers her a deal: help him rise again, and in return, she will reclaim her life and her crown. But he is a cunning and dangerous ally—a trickster whose alliances are ambiguous and strange. As they work together, their bond deepens, blurring the lines between duty and desire, and soon she realizes that the throne she wants might not be the one in the mortal realm.
