Drained and disillusioned, Mallory Blackburn, the Princess of Monsters, longs for a peaceful life, yet the Elestinian Empire denies her even the slightest reprieve. Every night, beyond her castle walls, steel and sorcery collide in merciless battle, and though the throne she sits upon is meant to shield her, it cannot protect her from the exhaustion of endless war, led by a monster-hating prince.
Stuck in a cruel cycle of death and return, she's grown immune to the carnage, convinced that every confrontation, every betrayal, and every outcome is predetermined. But when the cycle gets disturbed and the unexpected takes place, her certainty begins to wane. From the first time in countless loops, Mallory finds herself standing on the edge of possibility.
