Sold by My Son, I Became the Lady Sovereign

Betrayed by one son, saved by the other who becomes a Duke.

Marcia endures a genetic affliction that makes half her skin peel like scales, inviting relentless citywide scorn. To spare her son Felix from execution for theft, she binds herself to two decades of indentured labor. Felix repays the sacrifice by stealing again and lying, prompting the enraged owner to sell her other son, Klaudius, into slavery. Twenty years vanish. Felix prepares to wed a noblewoman while scheming to erase Marcia entirely, but Klaudius has survived, inherited a ducal title, and spent years searching for her. He rescues her from danger, verifies her identity, and arrives at Felix's wedding as the new Duke to reclaim his mother.
