A Bright Heart

Murdered by the man she loved, the man she made king, Mingshin prays for a second chance as she dies--a prayer that is granted. Awaking two years earlier, she swears to prevent Ren from becoming king and to never fall in love. But it's not easy to stop a man willing to lie, kill, and give his soul to evil magic. It's not too easy to keep from falling in love, either--even if it's with Ren's brother, also competing for the throne. Debut author Kate Chenli brings this tale to life through a vivid magical world and an unforgettable heroine.
