My Bodyguard Thinks I'm an Idiot, and Frankly, It's Working

All I, Larasati 'Sati' Kirana, ever wanted was to perfect my family's legendary rice spirits and maybe get my devastatingly handsome bodyguard, Jaya, to crack a smile. But when a mysterious package arrives containing a single, shimmering betel nut, my simple life is over. Eating it on a whim (it looked tasty!) awakens a terrifying, latent power: I can bring the dead back to life. My first 'miracle' is resurrecting the head brewer's prize-winning fighting rooster, which immediately gets the attention of the zealous Sentinels of the Cycle, who believe my power is an abomination. Now we're on the run. Jaya, ever the stoic professional, is determined to protect me, bound by a promise to my late parents. He thinks he's protecting a clueless socialite, and I'm happy to let him. It's easier than explaining that my 'airhead' act is a carefully crafted defense, hiding a mind that's racing to figure out who sent that nut and why my childhood friend, Dianti, is suddenly leading the hunt to kill me. Can I unravel the conspiracy surrounding my birthright before Jaya discovers my secret, or will his devotion be the very thing that leads us both to ruin?
