Marie, a selfish, iron-fisted ruler, earns the hatred of her people and is promptly sent to the guillotine for execution! Or, so it seems. Inches away from death, the blade falls and…she’s not dead?! Instead, the problematic princess finds herself in the past, a year before her execution. But no matter what she does, she keeps dying and rewinding, again and again. If Marie truly wants to change her deadly fate, she must overcome countless deadly romantic entanglements—with the very women who want her beheaded! Can she successfully seduce them and change their murderous intent, or is she stuck in this never-ending time loop that always results in death?
