Eva Ganakos is known as a monster with no regard for human lives, a woman who will kill for her own entertainment no matter how young or old the victim is. There is not a single soul in the empire who hasn't heard of her deeds, with some going so far as to scare their children with her name.

When the barbarians invade, instead of lamenting the loss, people rejoice at Eva's impending doom, hoping that her life will be swept away by the fire of war. Eva, who is trapped between enemies and enemies, eventually faces her demise.

However, when she somehow opens her eyes again, she has traveled back to nine years ago, to the time before she was married off and condemned for the crimes she didn't commit. If she wants to clear her name and prevents the tragedy of the future, she will have to engage in a battle of wits against the most scheming minds of all empire.
