After the fall of House Obsidian, only one thing remained: me. I, Selene Obsidian, am the last heir, and I'll find my way into the castle no matter what it takes.
My adoptive family, House Kallis, treats me like disposable help, using me to keep their crumbling, soon-to-be-bankrupt estate afloat. But I have my own reasons for enduring this life. Uncovering the truth behind my house's destruction and finding a way to make myself known is what keeps me standing.
That-and the fact that I'm a damn good fighter. Work smarter, not harder.
