The Second Life of the Duke's Bastard
"Up, miss. The Montclaires arrive at noon."
You loved Isolde Montclaire. You envied your sister. Isolde knew both, and she used both.
You were the Duke's bastard, raised in the east wing of a house that never wanted you. Lilianna, your half-sister, was the perfect one, loved by everyone. You believed she never cared. You were wrong about that, and about almost everything else.
Isolde promised you a name and a place at her side. In return, you carried a cup of poison to Prince Aldric, the one man at court who had ever pulled a chair up next to yours. He thanked you before he drank.
You were caught, and Isolde made sure of it. When Lilianna ordered you locked up, she spared your life. Three nights later, Isolde came to your cell, and you thought she had come to save you. You leaned in to kiss her. She killed you instead, and told you why.
Now you are awake. Same bed, same room, no wound. Eight years before any of it happens.
Aldric is alive. Lilianna is alive. Isolde is waiting to be given a bride.
You have no magic, no power, and no one who believes you. All you have is what you remember. This time you might be able to fix it, but only if you can stop being the fool she built.

Featuring: Isolde Montclaire, Lilianna, Prince Aldric, the Duke and Duchess, Sir Cassian
