Paranoid and frightened, Ada bears the scars of her past on her charred skin and tortured mind. Slaving away in Count Monroe's mansion, she hopes to find her brother soon. All the while struggling to keep her true identity under the wraps.
However, as a string of deaths ties around the Mansion like a noose, Ada finds herself plunged into the icy water of death, betrayal, conspiracies and a secret she wished she had never unearthed.
Throw a secretive Marquess, an unpredictable Lady, two equally stupid friends and an even stupider employer to whom she owes her life into the mix- Ada would face a disaster her grandmother's teaching could have never prepared her for.

She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons.

Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester.

The sisters and the forbidden chamber
Everyone thought she was dead. They were wrong. Now she's hunting two sisters who don't even know why. Staying alive? That's the biggest fight of all. | Here's a teaser: Then, she felt it again. But this time, the skin wasn't that cold. It was quite warm. She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to prepare herself for what she might see, and looked down. That didn't help her at all though, she still gasped, her gasp echoing eerily in the quiet night air; her heart still raced as though in a marathon; her breathing still hitched; a shiver still ran sharply down her spine. There was Vivienne, lying in the grass, a bullet through her heart, limbs mangled, blood everywhere, eyes lifeless. Lydia-against all her instincts-kneeled down beside Vivienne's body, squeezing her wrist tightly. There was no pulse. | I would really appreciate it if u vote and comment! I don't mind criticism!
