In a quiet house near Chelsea Old Church, Savannah Chandler stirred awake from her afternoon nap. The councillor of The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea had grown accustomed to these moments of stillness. Politics had once consumed her, but now, in her later years, life often felt more like a gentle drift toward retirement.
Savannah's journey had not begun in politics. She was once a schoolteacher, content with a quieter path. But after her father's death, the party had pressed her to stand for his vacant council seat. Reluctantly, she joined politics and couldn't leave. Her father's reputation for honesty and his deep bond with the community carried her through election after election. She was his only child, and with his passing, all his legacy… both political and personal… had passed into her hands.
