The Ghost on Atonement Altar

Freya, the Northern Wolf Clan’s cherished princess, is falsely accused by her brother, King Hadrian, of poisoning the Holy Maiden and banished to a border temple. For three brutal months, she is trapped in cruelty—starving in a livestock shed, battling hellhounds for food, and enduring red-hot silver needles and ice vats—until despair takes her life. But no one believes the end is real. Her brother still treats her as if she only pretended to die.
