Valdoren

Elise fled one noble household only to enter another. In her old life, she was one servant among many—faceless, replaceable, and invisible. In House Valdoren, things are different. The household is smaller, stranger, and far more personal. Every servant carries responsibility. Every mistake is noticed. As Elise struggles to adapt to her new role, she finds herself drawn into the lives of the people around her: fellow servants with secrets of their own, a household shaped by old wounds, and a master who is neither kind nor cruel in the ways she expected. But the habits learned in her former life are hard to escape, and the burdens she carries may prove more dangerous than the house itself.
