Selfish

As a child, Kamilla was sold by her family to House Bathos, one of the courtesan houses within the Palace of Evain. Under the guidance of the head of the house, Lady Bathos, she was trained in all the artistic and social skills a courtesan is expected to wield. Now as one of the most successful palace courtesans, Kamilla lives her days peacefully.

But the king is dying and the lords and ladies are in an uproar. Rumour and scandal run rife within the palace walls, and the threat of war from neighbouring kingdoms has everyone on edge. Within House Bathos, however, trivial concerns seem much more prevalent, as the courtesans scramble to be the top-earners and pay their way to freedom.
