The Blade-Washing Order

* The requested separate story line for [River of Suspense]

* Defiant, ruthless servant x young master of a respectable family

* Likely to have a Republican-era setting

[He lived his life defiant, killing and setting fires, but in the end, he once bowed his head for someone.]

I'll come up with a blurb later. The story line is different, and the main plot will change. A taste of a grand household's intrigue, with the servant rising above his station

Theme: Country, family, and love
