"If you must fall, then Eloise..."
Eloise, a quiet, silver-haired commoner, finds herself drawn into the grand estate of Klauenberg, where roses bloom eternally and emerald gardens stretch beyond sight. Within its majestic walls, drenched in wealth and influence, she crosses paths with a cold-eyed Duke whose presence stirs something long buried inside her.
But the Duke is an enigma. His gaze, unreadable; his gestures, deliberate yet distant. At times, Eloise feels the weight of his attention, but just as quickly, she is lost in his indifference. Torn between moments of fleeting warmth and biting coldness, she wonders: is she merely a passing distraction in his calculated quest for power or is there something deeper beneath his silent exterior?

King Henry
Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.
