I died in my original world believing I understood the story of a villainess who lost everything, then I woke up in her body. Calista Drevane was the most hated woman in The Last Dawn, a novel I had read before my death. In forty-three days, the apocalypse would begin. The heroine would awaken a legendary ability, become humanity’s savior, and win the heart of Evren Sable, the ruthless commander destined to execute Calista for her crimes. I knew how the story ended. Calista would be betrayed, branded a traitor, and killed by the man she loved. Unfortunately for everyone, I have no intention of following the script. I don’t want the commander, the heroine’s destiny, or a death sentence for people who would rather see me buried than admit they need me.

Survivors abandon the woman they once worshipped to follow me. Evren, who should despise me, grows suspicious of my actions and dangerously unwilling to let me out of his sight.

Someone is manipulating the apocalypse. And the man responsible for the world’s suffering is preparing to finish what he started. I entered this world to survive a story already written. Now I’ll destroy the ending, expose its author, and decide who deserves to survive the apocalypse. Even if the man I am falling for once held my life in his hands.

He's hiding a power that can survive the end of the world, and a curse that I may be the only one who can break. Ninety days. One peacock.

In my first life, I was Preston’s combat quartermaster. I kept his team fed, fortified their perimeter, and crushed my knee hauling rations—only for him to strip my winter coat, seize my sidearm, and drop the iron bolt on the airlock hatch. “In the field, we don’t bleed rations on dead weight.” Those were his last words before the freezing sleet and starving scavengers finished me off. Now I’ve woken up seven days before Zero Hour. A solar superflare is about to burn out the power grid and freeze the city solid. But this time, my grandmother’s pendant has opened a hidden void in my mind—a dark space where time stands still, boiling soup stays scalding forever, and nothing ever rots. While Preston pressures me to sign over my late mother’s townhouse to cover his gambling debts, and my parasite sister—who wrapped herself in my blanket while I froze—screams about rent money, I get to work. Fifteen thousand pounds of grain and clean water. Eight hundred piping-hot meals. Heaters, fuel, trauma kits—and a three-hundred-pound steel door bolted eight inches into the cinderblock. Then I hand Preston to the loan sharks hunting him. When the sky turns violet and the transformers explode, he comes sprinting to my door, begging me to open it. Goodnight, Preston. This time, I’m the one who locks the door.
