Lisel, the shrewd daughter of Marquis Luton, faces a life-and-death crossroads after her father's sudden coma.
In the midst of the turmoil, her stepmother, driven by unbridled ambition to seize power, plots ruthlessly against her. In an unexpected twist, Lisel uncovers a conspiracy to marry her off to the crown prince of Castelar, a man infamous for having murdered her previous lovers.
Desperate, Lisel flees to the gloomy outskirts of the city, to the notorious Hunger Alley, a haven of excess and freedom. There, in an act of audacity, she succumbs to a night of abandonment with an enigmatic stranger, a man whose coldness is surpassed only by his arrogance.
What Lisel believes will be a fleeting, no-strings-attached encounter turns into something more when he reappears, threatening to derail her carefully laid plans.
