I once was a hero who saved the world. At least, that's what I always believed. Until my final battle, when my own best friend, Alexander Bell, and the woman I loved, Vivienne Rose, betrayed me. They stole every ounce of credit for what I'd done, framed me as a traitor, and had me killed — right in front of Lyra Obsidian's body, the Black Witch I'd spent years believing was my greatest enemy. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in a time when nothing was too late yet. This time, I won't make the same mistakes twice. I will take back everything that was stolen from me, tear off the masks of the people who used me, and pay them back in a way they'll never forget. Most importantly, I will save Lyra. The girl I once helped destroy, just to please people who never deserved my loyalty. Because now I know the truth — the real monster was never Lyra. It was the people I trusted all along.
