Frevina
I died with poison burning in my throat and my husband's knife at my neck.
Edward Blackwood married me for my father's money. He held me through nightmares, called me sweetheart, and let me risk my life for his mother's medicine while she faked her fever. Then he tore my father's necklace from my neck and watched me die.
But his betrayal wasn't the worst thing I saw that day.
Minutes earlier, I watched General Adrik Hale, the man who told the whole country to stay calm, shot in an alley. His killer's last words still echo in my ears: "Project Chimera was never destroyed."
Then I woke up in my wedding dress, exactly 365 days before the world ended.
This time, I said "I do not" at the altar. I slapped the man who murdered me. I walked out beside my family, and I swore I would keep every one of them alive.
Then a military convoy pulled up outside the church.
And the man who stepped out of the lead van was General Adrik Hale. Alive. Asking my father for land. Looking at me like he knew exactly who I was.
I have one year to stop a conspiracy, save the people I love, and survive the end of the world.
And the only man who can help me is the one I watched die.
