Helena

Helena was born the only child of the once-powerful Valerius family, whose lands were seized by a rival noble house after her father's mysterious disappearance. Raised in exile by her cunning mother, Helena was taught the delicate art of negotiation and the power of influence. With an uncanny ability to charm, manipulate, and deceive, she became a trusted confidante of several influential figures at court, though her true loyalties remained a secret. Beneath her beauty and grace lies a sharp mind, capable of playing the most dangerous political games. Helena's past, however, holds dark secrets, and the truth of her family's fall from grace is a mystery she intends to unravel, even if it means risking everything.
