Lady Evony

Branded a witch and condemned as a murderer, Evony has spent years locked away, counting down the days until her execution. The guards who despise her have left their cruelty etched into her back in scars, yet she endures in silence, clinging to life with no hope of reprieve. Then, without warning, her sentence is lifted. Released from her cell, Evony is placed under the guardianship of Grand Duke Schneider. Surrounded by his devoted and warm-hearted staff, and guided by his admiring mentorship, she gradually reclaims the strength that imprisonment had stripped from her. Yet her newfound standing draws her into a far larger struggle. Serving as an unpredictable force within an elaborate contest of political power, Evony wields more influence than she ever imagined possible. With nothing left to lose, can she seize this unexpected chance to forge an entirely new future for the empire?
