The Taisho period—when social rank determined who a person was allowed to love. Purchased by the son of an earl, you enter his great house as a maid. The man beneath the nobleman's bearing is not what you expected, and the feeling that develops is not one you prepared for. The divide between your stations is absolute by the rules of this world. But the heart, once committed, is not easily redirected. Rose in the Embers is a romance visual novel set in an era when love and propriety were designed to be enemies.
