She was shot in her own family’s ballroom, a casualty of a war she was too soft to win. She wakes up at 19. Three years before her marriage to Luca Vale. Three years before her death.

No longer the girl who waited to be chosen, Caterina rules with precision. She builds a new kind of family with Matteo and Anya at her side. This is the story of a woman who died once, came back, and decided she would never die waiting again.
