In the Body of a Tyrant

In the Body of a Tyrant — An archaeologist shares a condemned monarch's body through a cursed artifact to rewrite a kingdom's doomed fate.

Archaeologist Maya Bennett awakens inside Cassian Vale, a ruler seconds from execution, after her blood activates a bronze hourglass. History brands Cassian a tyrant who ruined Veyra, but Maya uncovers a court conspiracy and an imminent Caldrin invasion as the true causes. Each fresh blood contact on the hourglass pulls her between the modern era and the seventh century, forcing her to pilot Cassian's body alongside allies Lyra and Seraphine and the wary commander Rowan. Her interventions save Cassian but fracture the timeline, stranding Maya in a present where Veyra remains locked in a seven-hundred-year war and she holds the office of Prime Minister. To mend reality, she must navigate the past again and confront the true Cassian before the rupture becomes irreversible.
