Synopsis

Kaydence never asked for rebirth. Two thousand years after her defeat and death, she awakens in a world that has long forgotten the devastation she once unleashed. Haunted by the atrocities of her past, she seeks only solitude—a chance to fade quietly into obscurity until the gods finally claim her soul. But the world has other plans. Old enemies stir, new threats emerge, and whispers of the Demon King’s return ripple through the realms. As forces conspire against her, Kaydence must confront the sins of her former life while resisting the pull of the power she once wielded. Can a remorseful tyrant ever outrun her legacy?
