Once a brilliant secretary of the Brauno family, I was betrayed and killed by an assassin. Reborn as Aerin, the seven-year-old illegitimate granddaughter of the same family, I discovered my new fate was to be adopted by the very man who orchestrated my death. Determined to avoid this, I planned to find a new family. But instead of just adoption, unexpected riches, honor, and powerful alliances started falling into my lap. Will I rise above my past and seize control of not just the family but the entire empire?
