When eighteen-year-old Anfisa is sold into a secret household in 1903 Russia, she enters a world where poverty, wealth, and human ownership exist behind respectable walls. At the same time, privileged Varvara receives a living “gift” that reveals the darker freedoms of the elite. As their paths unfold in parallel, both girls are drawn into a society ruled by desire, power, and carefully concealed corruption. A dark historical novel about class, submission, and the dangerous price of belonging.
