A Legacy of Ruin Stories
Victoria Kane steps into Vallmont to mend a failing dynasty. She mends it with her womb. Six men — crowned, titled, sworn — enter her one by one, then two by two, then all at once. Throne velvet darkens. Chapel marble chills. Garden air thickens with jasmine and musk. They spill everything. One child results. Adopted by the palace. The men live with the memory. And the cold.

What if every choice you ever made carried a weight you could never escape? One decision, one ripple, one domino — and the world begins to unravel. In a story where science feels like magic and fate bends under the weight of consequence, the prologue opens not with answers, but with the first tremors of catastrophe. Something ancient stirs, a secret awakens, and the chain of events has already begun.

Can their blossoming relationship survive the deception? What will Colette's father and cousin do if they realise Jean-Paul is really Jeanne?
