Lady of the Endgame

Aveline Wynn believed her husband and the sweet childhood friend at his side were what they appeared to be. He poisoned her. She comes back to life on the night of her wedding, standing in the same hall, in front of the same nobles, about to be humiliated a second time. This time she kicks over the candelabrum and refuses to set foot in House Redgrave, swearing to take back her dowry, her name and her family's future. Cassian Hawke, the prince the empire calls Your Highness, crosses her path, and the two work together through palace plots, charity auctions and ambushes to bring the Redgrave marquisate down. Adapted from the novel by Yi Yangcheng.
