She remembers dying. Now she has to remember how to live.
Srey Neang wakes up eighteen years in the past with a terrible gift: she remembers everything from the life she already lived. In the glittering court of ancient Cambodia, where palace intrigue flows as freely as the sacred waters of Tonle Sap, she has one chance to rewrite fate. But the conspiracies she remembers are already forming, the corrupt officials are rising to power, and when a scholar is framed for treason, she faces an impossible choice: testify and destroy her own reputation, or stay silent and let injustice prevail.
To change the future, she must become someone completely different. To survive, she must navigate a deadly court where one wrong move means execution. And to earn the trust of a brilliant strategist who suspects she knows far more than any palace companion should, she must hide the one truth that could save them all. But changing fate is harder than remembering it-and some people are destined to notice when someone knows too much. A lush historical fantasy of palace intrigue, impossible secrets, and the dangerous art of rewriting destiny.
