In the grand halls of the Virellia estate, a ducal household where status is everything and secrets run deep, Mallory begins her quiet life as a laundry maid. But her days of folding linens and scrubbing gowns take a sharp turn when tragedy strikes: Prince Azrail, the enigmatic firstborn of the ducal family, is found dead under suspicious circumstances.

While many whisper of treachery, Mallory isn't convinced. Driven by curiosity and a sharp mind unnoticed by those above her, she begins to unravel the truth behind the first prince's death-only to discover that this isn't the first strange coincidence surrounding him.

Fiercely determined and guided by a hunger for justice, Mallory dares to look where others avert their gaze-no matter what she finds.

Please do not comment with "I can draw your characters" I appreciate it, but I am an artist and can draw my own character art. Thank you.
