The Betrayed Saintess

This book addresses sensitive topics such as suicide, mental disorders and many others. The discretion and discernment of the reader are desired. Selen Ravenhurt was born to become empress, and for a long time, she believed that was enough. Raised in one of the most powerful noble families of the empire and promised to the crown prince since childhood, everything had already been decided for her. She would rule at the emperor’s side and secure her place at the top of a world where power meant everything. And for a long time, she accepted it without question. Until the day everything began to fall apart. Chosen as the long-awaited saint, Selen becomes the empire’s symbol of hope, admired by the people and praised by the temple. Yet the more time passes, the more she begins to realize that something is deeply wrong. The world she once believed in is not as perfect as it seems, and the people around her are not who they pretend to be. Behind the palace, behind the temple, behind even her own family, a truth exists that no one is meant to see. And when she finally does, it destroys everything. Betrayed, broken, and stripped of everything she once held onto, Selen is left with no way out. With no one to trust and nothing left to lose, she makes the only choice she has left. She chooses to end it. But death is not the end. When she opens her eyes again, she is given a second chance, and this time, she remembers everything. This time, she refuses to be used, to be controlled, or to play the role that was forced onto her. Because if this empire was built on lies, then she will be the one to tear it apart. And this time, she will not stop until everything burns.
