[A Regency Era novel, #vengeance #weaktostrong #heiress #loveaftermarriage #noblefamily #dramatic #betrayal] "Lady Blanchard," the Marquess of Canterbury announced, his voice carrying a hint of surprise as he swept off his cocked hat and handed it to the waiting butler. He then stepped into the drawing room, his eyes immediately falling upon her. The cup of tea and a plate of pastries on the coffee table suggested that she had been waiting for his arrival for some time. "What a surprise," he continued, a hint of amusement creeping into his tone. "Do you require anything from me?" "Indeed, Your Grace," Maggie replied, her voice steady despite the weight of her proposition. The Marquess's amusement vanished, replaced by a flicker of suspicion. He crossed his arms in a haughty manner, his posture demanding an explanation. "And what might that be?" he inquired, his voice laced with a cool formality. "I would like to propose," Maggie began, meeting his gaze directly, "a marriage alliance between us." -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Upon her father's untimely demise, Lady Marguerite “Maggie” Delaney Antoine Blanchard was betrayed by the man he loved, Nicholas Cunningham, and the only other relative she trusted, Nicholas' father, Lloyd Cunningham. She found much-needed support in the Marquess of Canterbury, Percival Clement Duane Locksworth, whom she did not care for due to the unfortunate nature of their first meeting, but who turned out to be the lifeline she needed to exact his revenge and regain the Countess of Huntington title. When Maggie offered the Marquess a beneficial deal in exchange for his hand in marriage, would the not-so-charming gentleman say yes? And if he did, would Maggie be able to win the claim for the Earldom of Huntington and retain it within the Blanchard family's ownership? Or would she crumble under the storm of the Marquess's gaze, his presence a churning sea threatening to engulf her whole?

"On that day, humanity remembered the terror of being ruled by them... and the humiliation of being trapped in a cage For a hundred years, three massive stone walls—Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina—were the absolute boundary of human existence, shielding the remnants of civilization from mindless, man-eating giants. But the illusion of safety shatters in a single flash of golden lightning when a sixty-meter Colossal Titan kicks a hole straight through the outer gate, turning the peaceful district of Shiganshina into a visceral slaughterhouse. Forced to watch a smiling monster devour his mother alive, young Eren Yeager hardens his grief into a white-hot obsession for absolute vengeance, vowing to slaughter every last Titan on Earth.

The monsters strike a second time, turning the Trost District into a chaotic, blood-soaked war zone. As raw recruits are ripped away and swallowed whole in seconds, a desperate defense turns into a fight for survival—until a shocking, reality-bending awakening changes the tides of war forever.

But the outside world holds a nightmare far worse than mindless beasts. A highly intelligent, martial-arts-wielding Female Titan emerges from the fog, hunting Eren with terrifying precision. To survive the expedition, the young soldiers must navigate a dark, psychological thriller of betrayal and carnage, realizing a horrific truth: the ultimate monsters might not just be outside the stone walls—they might be hiding right among them.
