Queen Aurelia Valedorn is loved by all, yet on the twentieth anniversary of her coronation, she whispers a terrifying truth: someone is about to die, and it's her. A three-hundred-year-old prophecy awakens, foretelling a war of Five Hearts bound to her destiny, just as an assassination attempt by the long-vanished Black Court shatters her kingdom's peace. Her loyal commander, a charming prince, a formidable emperor, an obsessive high priest, and a husband believed dead for twenty years converge, each claiming a piece of her fate. But Aurelia harbors a secret far more dangerous than any prophecy or rival: she can open gateways to Mirror Worlds, where a monstrous version of herself plots to cross over and claim everything Aurelia holds dear. As love becomes a weapon and alliances crumble, Aurelia must navigate a deadly game where her greatest enemy might just be herself, and her beloved kingdom teeters on the brink of a war ignited by the very love meant to protect her.
