Paris, 1870. When her husband's prestigious appointment finally opens the doors of high society, Marie-France believes she has become the woman she was always meant to be. Surrounded by velvet, champagne and newfound admiration, she barely notices how much of herself she is sacrificing to remain welcome. Then war takes Henri away. His death leaves her without the fortune, protection or social standing she believed were her own. Abandoned by the women who once called her their friend, Marie-France begins a descent through the hidden layers of Paris, from aristocratic drawing rooms to overcrowded laundries, cold taverns and streets where survival itself has a price. Yet among the women society condemns most harshly, she may discover a loyalty more genuine than anything she knew in wealth. A historical short story about widowhood, class, exploitation and the fragile value granted to women in a world where everything they possess can disappear with a man.

Yara Isaye loses her family in an accident. Two days later, she wakes up in a novel she once read, as the story's villainess, Yara Julian Isaye. Tyrannical, cruel, and unforgiving. Destined to be rejected by her own family, and the one fated to die at the hands of the Empire's most unfeeling man. She already knows how it unfolds. So she keeps her distance. She does not reach for them, does not question the role she has been given. It is easier to accept what has already been written than to hope for something else. Grief dulls everything else, whether she lives or dies no longer feels important. Until the story begins to shift. A hesitation where there should be indifference, a quiet concern that does not belong, and the man who was meant to kill her, once distant, and unmoved, no longer looks at her as he should, but with something far more difficult to name. Yara tells herself it changes nothing, because some endings are deserved. Aren't they? [Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so expect grammatical errors]
