Description

Cesare, a dissolute nobleman trapped in a loveless political marriage, makes an unconventional deal with Adel, a shoeshiner from the slums: he'll transform her into Sant'nar's most sought-after woman within three months. What begins as Cesare's escape plan becomes complicated as he grows genuinely invested in Adel's welfare—and increasingly disturbed by the arranged engagement that was supposed to free him. As Adel challenges everything he expects from women of high society, Cesare finds himself questioning the very life he's worked to maintain.
