The Empress's Shadow. Volume 1

The influential Duke Francesco, having lost his daughter, makes a surprising proposal to Elena: to take the place of the heiress and marry the king to strengthen his power. Elena agrees to the deal and, journeying from a false daughter to an empress, gives birth to a crown prince, seemingly gaining an unbreakable position. But everything collapses in an instant when unexpectedly returns the one everyone thought was lost — the duke's real daughter, Princess Veronica. Elena, merely a pawn in someone else's game, finds herself betrayed: her child and life are taken away from her. However, fate gives her a second chance — she returns to the past. Now the reborn Elena is determined to take revenge. 'I will destroy you all,' is her new motto. Will she be able to accomplish this task?
