The Reverie of the Crimson Widow

"My name is Isolde von Adalbrecht... or is it? I can’t quite remember." Once a barefoot country girl named Liesel Maren, she was plucked from obscurity and renamed, her past erased, her voice softened, her will reshaped. Groomed by the mysterious and cruel Archduke Otto von Adalbrecht under the watchful eye of his kind sister Elsa, Isolde is thrust into the shadowy world of noble politics, court masks, and dangerous secrets. But her quiet life as a duchess shatters after the Crimson Veil Massacre, a bloodstained wedding that leaves five noble children orphaned and Isolde as their legal guardian. Her appointment as head of House von Adalbrecht sparks outrage among the aristocracy, whispers from the Church, and veiled threats from the royal court. The children, heirs to a great fortune and legacy, resent her, viewing her as a usurper in silks. Surrounded by spies, manipulated by the Empress, and shadowed by The Order, a faceless elite faction answering only to the Crown. Isolde must survive a court built on secrets, lies, and the ever-present gaze of the obsessive Crown Prince Hadrian. Amidst it all, Baron Étienne Montclair stands by her side, offering subtle loyalty and an unspoken love she cannot return. But Isolde never wanted power. She only ever wanted peace. And yet, to protect the children she never bore but came to love, she must play the part of the perfect noblewoman, until the day she can quietly leave it all behind. As her past begins to claw its way back, and as the eldest child, Friedrich, comes of age, Isolde faces a final choice: reclaim her identity and freedom… or be consumed by the very title that once saved her.
