Eighteen years ago, the Eldorian Crown erased one twin to save the other. Princess Aurelia was sacrificed, declared dead, and abandoned, while Prince Cassian became the royal heir. But Aurelia survived. Raised in the slums as Lena by a poor apothecary, she returns to the palace as an apothecary servant to save her adoptive father. The royal court humiliates her, Cassian doubts her, and Queen Maribel fails to recognize the daughter she lost. What they do not know is that Lena carries the split royal pendant, the lunar‑blood reaction, and the apothecary skill that can expose the sacrifice. She is not here to beg for a family. She is here to make the family that erased her kneel.
