The Thorns of House Valenne

In a court of silk and steel, survival is the sharpest weapon.



Seraphina Valenne was born to rule. Trained in diplomacy, grace and the brutal art of power, she was the jewel of the northern borderlands, a daughter of roses in a world of iron.



Now, she is no one.



In a land where dukes and empresses barter power behind velvet curtains, one noblewoman rises from the ashes of a fallen House with nothing left but memory… and a name that must never be spoken again.



Now living under a false identity, she enters a world she was never meant to see–the servant halls, the cold kitchen and the secret politics behind grand estates. As whispers of betrayal and ambition echo through marble corridors, she must learn to kneel before those she once outranked and sharpen her silence into strategy.



But behind every lowered gaze, a reckoning grows.



Because some flowers only bloom in fire and some thorns remember where they came from.
