"Seventeen-year-old Anaïs just wants this night to end. A provincial outsider at the royal Anniversary Ball, she has no desire to rub shoulders with the kingdom of Ivarea's most eligible (and pompous) bachelors -- especially not the notoriously roguish Prince Leo. But then, at the stroke of midnight, an explosion rips through the palace, killing everyone in its path. Including her. The last thing Anaïs sees is fire, smoke, chaos. . .and then she wakes up in her bedroom, hours before the ball. No one else remembers the deadly attack or believes her warnings of disaster. Not even when it happens again. And again. And again. If she's going to escape this nightmarish time loop, Anaïs must take control of her own fate and stop the attack before it happens. But Ivarea's gilded surface belies a rotten core, full of restless nobles frustrated with the king's power, discontented commoners itching for revolution, and even royals who secretly dream of taking the throne. It's up to Anaïs to untangle the knots of power and deception at the heart of the kingdom. . .if she can survive past midnight." --Book jacket
