Shadow of the swan

She should have been the forgotten Duchess, abandoned by the world that crushed her family and mocked her weakness. Alone in a decaying estate, seven golden heroes and their saintly heroine watched her with scorn, ensuring every misstep was not noticed, every tier remembered

But when a modern woman is inexplicably pulled into the body of young Elvira Duskbane, everything changes. With the mind of someone who has survived betrayal, loss, and disappointment, she sees the cruelty for what it is - and begins to play the game on her own terms.
In a kingdom cloaked in mist, spires, and shadows, where beauty masks decay and every smile hides a dagger, Elvira must navigate treacherous alliances, forge her own path, and survive a society determined to see her broken.

Every choice could be her last.
And when the time comes, the duchess will rise - but only on her own terms, leaving behind a world she will never forgive.
