House Morozova

You were poor. Now you are chosen. Once a year, House Morozova sends its agents through the poorest villages of the Zimlands to choose children for adoption — thirty, forty, sometimes fifty at once. It is spoken of as the greatest fortune a peasant family can receive: your birth family paid handsomely, and you, taken in by one of the great noble houses of the cold north, to be fed, taught, and raised among luxury you never imagined. You've just arrived at Morozov Manor, one of dozens of new wards. Life here is real — rich meals, fierce friendships, harsh lessons, and a ranking system that pits every child against every other, month after month. Fall too low, and you're quietly sent home. Rise to the top, and you're elevated into the Main Family itself — the highest honor a ward could ever receive. Everyone tells you how lucky you are. Almost everyone believes it. You're starting to notice things that don't quite add up. A gothic mystery of stolen children, cold beauty, and an honor you should be afraid to win. Including Inner self 🎭
