Melanjutkan cerita di Syair Singgasana Jilid 1 saat kekacauan di dunia di balik kabut semakin membesar, Bayu dan Ayunda harus berpisah demi misi penting yang dibebankan ke masing-masing.

Inilah syair yang lebih tajam dari seribu pedang, Syair Singgasana.

The first thing my fiance's childhood sweetheart—Eve Hodgson—does after returning from abroad is make me sign a bet. It states that if my fiance—Holden Lane—chooses her over me nine times, I'll have to step aside willingly and let her have him. I agree. On the ninth time, she calls him in tears. "If you don't marry me, Holden, I'll be forced to marry that notorious Croft heir from Jedburgh!" He ends the call in a frenzy and leaves me behind yet again. With his identification documents in hand, he rushes to marry her right away. They announce their marriage to the world on the same day. Elites of Jedburgh strain their necks, eager to see me and the Crofts humiliated. That's when Ryland Croft comes to me, smirking with that careless arrogance of his. "Since your fiance stole my bride, it seems only fair that you pay the debt. So, how about you marry me instead?" I nod and say, "Fair enough. When's the wedding?"

I'm an heiress who's been bound to a gossip system. Everyone reads my mind on my first day back home after being reunited with my family. "Mom sure has done a good job of maintaining her beauty. It's no wonder she became an OnlyFans streamer after divorcing Dad." My mother is about to berate me for something, but she pales and stops when she hears my thoughts. I glance at the fake heiress, who's weeping pitifully. "My, she's pregnant. Is it John's or Zach's?" My two brothers exchange odd looks. Then, my father arrives. I cluck my tongue. "Oh, it's Dad's."

On our tenth anniversary, I came home with roses and the biggest deal of my career. I expected celebration. Instead, I found my husband in bed with my cousin. They looked at me like I was the one who had interrupted something that mattered. That night, I walked away from the man I thought loved me and the company I built. They thought I vanished. They rebranded everything in my absence, twisted the story, and erased my name from what I created. But I did not disappear. I became Juliana Cross. And I am not here to beg for what was mine. I am here to take it all back.

Após o fim da Guerra Húmano-Bestial, ambas as partes acordaram que o mundo seria governado pelos Híbridos. A cada cem anos, realiza-se um Pacto de Sangue: quem primeiro der à luz um Híbrido, esse será o líder da próxima geração da Aliança Híbrida. Na vida passada, escolhi casar-me com o primogênito da Tribo Lobo, famoso por sua devoção amorosa, e fui a primeira a lhe dar um filho, o Híbrido Lobo Branco. Nosso filho tornou-se o próximo líder da Aliança Híbrida, e ele naturalmente obteve um poder imenso. Minha irmã, que se casou por cobiça à beleza do primogênito da Tribo Raposa, acabou por sofrer as consequências das constantes infidelidades dele, contraindo doenças e até mesmo perdendo a fertilidade. Movida pelo ciúme, minha irmã ateou fogo e matou a mim e ao pequeno Lobo Branco. Quando abri os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia do Pacto de Sangue, e minha irmã já havia se adiantado para deitar-se com Samuel, o primogênito da Tribo Lobo. Eu sabia que ela também havia renascido. Mas o que ela não sabia era que Samuel era de natureza cruel e violenta, longe de ser um bom partido!

In order to avenge Lily Bauer, an orphan staying with the Frostfang pack, Ethan Hawkins doesn't show up at the agreed time on the day of our betrothal party. He only sends his Beta to my door with a message. "Last time, you injured Lily with wolfsbane pollen, humiliating her at the pack gathering. Today is just a lesson. Apologize to Lily and send over the necklace she likes, and then we'll get betrothed." Overnight, I become the laughingstock of the entire pack. My brother, Ryan Fuller, says, "Lily just lost her parents. Let her vent her anger. Ethan is meant to be your mate anyway. Delaying your betrothal by a few days is no big deal." Really? It isn't a big deal? The Frostfang pack's ancestral token isn't something just anyone can covet. I turn around and grip the wolf-shaped crest offered by the Blackwood pack. "I accept the Blackwood pack's proposal for a mate alliance."

Dois dias antes do Ano Novo, meu namorado, Murilo Santos, decidiu viajar para o litoral... Com a assistente dele. — Tudo bem. — Eu disse, sem brigar, sem chorar. Pelo contrário, ajudei a fazer as malas dele, agindo como se estivesse tudo certo. Ele riu da minha compreensão e soltou, com aquele tom debochado: — Agora que tá grávida, finalmente aprendeu a se comportar... Assim que ele saiu pela porta, fui direto para a clínica. Fiz um aborto. Na minha vida passada, eu tentei usar aquela criança como amarra. Achei que, com um filho, ele ficaria comigo. O que aconteceu? A assistente dele foi brutalmente assassinada na praia. Murilo continuou com aquela máscara de frieza, como se nada tivesse acontecido... Mas quando chegou o dia do parto, ele tirou a própria máscara. Com uma crueldade que nem nos meus piores pesadelos eu imaginava, ele mesmo abriu meu ventre... E matou o nosso bebê. Com as próprias mãos. Foi ali que tudo fez sentido. Ele nunca me perdoou. Nunca esqueceu. Agora que voltei no tempo, só tenho um objetivo: Destruir Murilo. Fazer ele perder tudo.
