A cold and calculating boy, Halilintar, never expected his life to end the way it did-stabbed from behind by someone he could not even recognize, his body paralyzed, his powers fading, and his final thoughts filled not with fear, but regret, because he had not yet said everything he wanted to say to the people who mattered the most. But death was not the end. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer himself. Now trapped in the body of a young girl named Raelyn Starling, in a completely different country, with a different life, a different family, and a past that was not his own, Halilintar is forced to face a reality he cannot accept, struggling with his identity, his circumstances, and the cruel distance separating him from his brothers. As Raelyn begins to piece together the truth, she realizes that whatever took her life once may not be finished yet-and the people she left behind might already be in danger. Now, with limited time, no resources, and a body that is not her own, she must find a way to reach them, uncover the truth, and stop what is coming. Because this is not just a second life. It is a race against fate.
