From the soot-stained streets of the East End to the gilded halls of StoneHearth, one seamstress's life is changed forever by a single summons. Plucked from obscurity, she is thrust into a role unheard of for a woman: the personal valet to King Zion McGraw and the predatory Earl Xavier Whitaker. Within the velvet-draped chambers of the palace, the etiquette of submission is the only law. As she learns to navigate the weight of the royal wardrobe and the tightening of silken ribbons, she finds herself caught between the King's absolute authority and the Earl's dark favor. In a court built on secrets and scandals, she must serve their every whim or face the shadow of the gallows.
