10 parts Ongoing MatureThey took everything from her. Now, she has nothing left to lose.
In the slums of a kingdom ruled by greed, Charlotte has fought for every scrap of freedom she owns. By day, she toils on her small farm, struggling to survive in a world that sees her as nothing more than dirt. By night, she works at the Drunken Chestnut, where men drink away their coin and trouble lurks in every shadow. It isn't much, but it's hers.
Until King Malachar arrives.
With a single order, the tyrant sets fire to the only home she has left, leaving her with nothing but ash and grief. But amidst the ruin, a stranger appears-Seraphine, a woman who speaks of rebellion, of escape, of nobles who seek to bring the king's rule to its knees.
To trust her is to risk everything. To refuse is to remain a pawn in a cruel game.
With vengeance burning in her chest and whispers of war in the air, Charlotte must decide: will she flee, or will she fight?
Because the slums may have made her desperate. But they also made her dangerous.
