History rarely remembers the ones who cleaned up after queens.

In Tudor England, being a maid in Anne Boleyn’s household meant more than scrubbing linens and dodging noblemen. It meant surviving silence, secrets, and the slow unraveling of a royal life destined for execution. This is not Anne’s story — it’s yours. The hands that folded her gowns. The eyes that watched her fall. The name no one wrote down, but who saw everything.

In this immersive, second-person historical sleep story, you’ll experience the hidden world beneath the throne — where power trickled down in the form of bloodstains, whispers, and consequences no one above ever paid.

So settle in. And listen carefully. Because even ghosts need someone to remember them.
