Betrayed and framed by the crown prince, one woman gets a second chance to avoid death and exact her revenge in this action fantasy light novel! From the author of Who Killed the Hero? and When the Monster Meat I Ate Led Me to the Throne.
Condemned to an ignoble execution before she could bring her wicked plans to fruition, Duchess Serena looks back on her life with regret—not because she was wrong, but because she ran out of time! Yet instead of staying dead, she finds herself given a second chance, an opportunity to live her life over with her memories intact.
Serena quickly reaches a simple conclusion: What she needed all along were competent allies. What’s a friendless, evil duchess to do? Raise some allies from scratch, of course! Serena immediately adopts six children from an orphanage and puts them through a ruthless education—one that just happens to include assassination training. Is it the start of a brilliant do-over, or is her harsh training doomed to backfire?
