A stunning full-colour webcomic with over 51 million digital readers worldwide is now making its global print debut in English.

After fourteen lifetimes of betrayal and torment at the hands of her dearest friend Lavienne, Saint Dinah wants nothing more than to die. Cursed with endless reincarnation and unable to end her own life, she turns to the feared Archduke Tersiaβ€”hoping he’ll kill her. But to her surprise, he adopts her and names her Esther, placing her at the heart of the empire’s most powerful family.

With her new status and knowledge of Lavienne's true nature, Esther swears to get revenge! Will Esther finally break the cycle, or will her 15th life end just like all the rest?

This edition covers 13 chapters across 362 pages, which includes customisable journal sheets for readers to transform their copy into a personal keepsake, along with a Creator’s Vault curated by Hwang Binoβ€”featuring character spotlight sheets with exclusive illustrations, behind-the-scenes notes, and bonus insightsβ€”along with two print-only short stories.
