A Second Life. A Final Audit. A Debt Paid in Blood.
Elowen Vane died in a sterile hospital wing, a victim of a slow-acting poison and a lifetime of calculated betrayals. She was the "Country Stray," the biological daughter brought back to the elite
Blackwood Estate only to be framed for theft, stripped of her dignity, and discarded by the very people who shared her blood.
But the ledger of Elowen's life didn't close at the morgue.
Awakening five years in the past on the morning of her "Welcome Home" gala, Elowen realizes the system has rebooted. She is no longer the naïve girl seeking love; she is a professional data analyst armed with a future of classified Intel and a ruthless need for justice.
The Plan is Simple:- Identify the Anomalies: Use her accounting expertise to track the millions being bled from the Vane Group.
- Isolate the Virus: Expose her "sister," Bianca Thorne, and the manipulative housekeeper, Martha Gruel, before they can strike first.
- Balance the Scales: Secure an alliance with the dangerous Caspian Vance, the gatekeeper of Aethelgard’s secrets and the only man capable of keeping up with her.
From the high-stakes boardrooms of Aethelgard to the gritty underbelly of the Obsidian Pawn Shop, Elowen navigates a world where every smile is a liability and every contract is a weapon.
In a game of wealth, power, and poison, Elowen Vane is done playing the victim. She’s starting the final audit. And this time, she’s taking everything.
