Seraphina didn't have the guts to defy the King's command to marry a dead man, so she threatened me to take her place in the tomb. But just when I thought General Benedict had died a hero on the battlefield-He came back from the dead. And just like that, I became the general's wife. Then out of nowhere, Seraphina threw herself at him, sobbing, saying I'd conspired with rebels to fake his death and steal her place. I thought maybe he'd believe me. I mean, we were married, even if just for a few days. But he just looked at me and said, "The one thing I hate most ... is being lied to." They beat me to death right there in the courtyard. And when I opened my eyes again-I was back. Back on the very day Seraphina tried to force me to take her place in that cursed wedding.
