His name is tarnished, his family shattered by treason and execution, his children Adelaide and Julian condemned to die forgotten in exile. Yet as his eyes open on the past, the cold sweat of the gallows fades. He is not alone in this rewind; Adelaide, his oppressed daughter, has also returned, her icy composure masking a defiant spirit, ready to face the father who doomed them all.*
