After the Hundredth Loss, My Fiancé Went Mad With Regret

Faith Fox has spent four years in what she believes is a parallel world, where a system promises that one final experiment will send her home. Her fiancé, Nigel Farley, has placed her on an operating table ninety-nine times, and her rare gift of regeneration has kept her alive through every one. In her own world, she believes, he loves her more than life itself.

On the hundredth surgery, she learns the truth: the parallel world and the system are lies, staged by Nigel and a hypnosis team so that Maisie Henson can practice medicine on her body. This time the procedure is not an eye but her brain, the source of her regeneration, and removing it will kill her. Strapped down and unable to move, she begs Nigel to let her go, but he chooses Maisie and her dog over Faith's life.

As the drill opens her skull, Faith remembers the kidnapping five years ago, the daughter she lost, and the cruel story Maisie tells about her. She can only endure, awake, while the people she trusted decide how much of her they are willing to take.
