Legend of the Phoenix

The Crown Prince arranged for his wife to be murdered. What he did not arrange for was what came next: she was reborn. Given a second life and a clear accounting of what was done to her, she enters the Imperial Palace as a maid—the lowest possible position—and begins the slow work of building allies and isolating enemies. Every step up the palace hierarchy is a step closer to the man who had her killed. A revenge story that requires patience, strategy, and the kind of patience that feels like rage kept in careful storage.
