The Shadows of the Crown

In the heart of the 18th century, behind the gilded walls and hushed whispers of the royal palace, Élise, a young and observant servant, stumbles upon secrets that should never leave the court. Hidden letters, exchanged glances, secret nighttime meetings—an insidious plot is underway to overthrow the king and plunge the kingdom into chaos.

As she tries to grasp the full scope of the threat, Élise grows close to Adrien de Montreval, a powerful noble bound by duty and social expectations. A dangerous passion ignites between them, made all the more forbidden since Adrien is promised to another for political reasons. Their love becomes a vulnerability that conspirators could exploit.

Torn between duty, survival, and desire, Élise finds herself at the center of a game of power far beyond her control. Every decision could cost lives, provoke betrayal, or change the fate of the crown. In a world where appearances are weapons and silence is a threat, a simple servant may hold the key to the kingdom’s destiny.
