Elena Marchetti dies at twenty-six. A hand closes around her throat.
Freezing harbor water fills her lungs. The man who should've saved her stands on the dock, just a few seconds too late.
Then she wakes up. Sixteen again.
Same house, same family, same future waiting to kill her all over. The Marchettis run one of the city's most dangerous crime families, and their power comes from an old leather ledger , a book that records every debt, marriage, and death like it's already decided.
Elena's name is inside it. So is the day she dies.
She's got ten years now to change that.
The ledger belongs to Vittoria Marchetti, the matriarch who ordered Elena's death the first time and believes she's protecting the family by controlling its future. Her nephew Renzo, the one who actually did the killing, is already circling, waiting for another chance.
Then there's Matteo — the son who should've inherited everything, until one mistake cost him his father's trust and his belief he's worth saving. He doesn't know Elena remembers his hands on her while she died, her name breaking in his voice as the water took her.
She's carried that memory in a sixteen-year-old's body for months. He doesn't trust her. But something about her makes him want to try anyway.
Elena has one real choice: trust the man who let her die once, or walk the same road and see if it kills her twice. Every move she makes to save herself puts someone else in danger instead.
She's done letting others write her ending.
She's going to rewrite it herself -- even if it means burning down everything her family has ever believed in.
