Cornered after being betrayed, Keira Lynn faces her former pact master and her companions, who have bound her and killed her beloved. Accused of trickery and control, she defiantly counters their threats of a quick death. As they attack, she reveals that her death will not break their magical pacts but will drag them all down with her. She then triggers a fatal explosion, only to awaken a century in the past, reborn with the scent of a low-level beast, before ever meeting her betrayers.
