Awakening in a temple, Freya realizes she has been reborn and remembers Damon Ewing killed her and destroyed her family. An attendant warns she was dosed with a western drug called Ecstasy Dew that causes pregnancy after one night—the same trick Damon used. Determined not to repeat the past, Freya vows to confront the two bandits sent to violate her and to finally use the martial skill she hid before. Exposed and urgent, she then spots a unique carriage carrying Heath Cohen, the future ruler, forcing an immediate choice about whom to trust.
