Description
"If you must fall, then Eloise..." Eloise, a quiet, silver-haired commoner, finds herself drawn into the grand estate of Klauenberg, where roses bloom eternally and emerald gardens stretch beyond sight. Within its majestic walls, drenched in wealth and influence, she crosses paths with a cold-eyed Duke whose presence stirs something long buried inside her. But the Duke is an enigma. His gaze, unreadable; his gestures, deliberate yet distant. At times, Eloise feels the weight of his attention, but just as quickly, she is lost in his indifference. Torn between moments of fleeting warmth and biting coldness, she wonders: is she merely a passing distraction in his calculated quest for power or is there something deeper beneath his silent exterior?
