QUEEN TAKES KING · 2

Synopsis On the seventh night of the siege, the old king drinks poisoned wine — and time turns back seven days. Maren, nineteen, a princess of a fallen kingdom, was married to the man who conquered it. Each time the week begins again, she sees the black citadel more clearly: a knife behind every smile, a price behind every loyalty, poison on the gentlest hands. Time resets. The cost does not. Every move takes a memory from her, and a little more of her warmth.
