Herity thought surviving the palace would be difficult.
She was wrong.
Being sent to the Crimson Court is worse.
Surrounded by ruthless servants, jealous nobles, disappearing maids, and punishments handed down without explanation, Herity quickly discovers that the Crimson Court has rules no one will explain and secrets no one wants uncovered.
So she does what she has always done best.
She watches.
She remembers.
And she starts asking questions.
But the more Herity learns, the more dangerous her questions become.
And somewhere beyond the Crimson Court, a powerful man has begun paying far too much attention to the fate of one stubborn little maid.
He cannot openly protect her without revealing why she matters.
She cannot understand why a mysterious royal figure keeps appearing at the edges of her life.
And neither of them realizes just how violently the palace will react when their worlds finally collide.
Because the Crimson Court does not merely hide secrets.
It destroys people who discover them.
And Herity may have just become the one person the palace can no longer afford to lose.
A palace full of secrets. A maid who refuses to disappear. A dangerous royal romance neither of them is prepared for.
