Disgraced and destitute, Henrietta Lightfoot flees her country estate for the glittering underworld of 1789 London. With no family support, she must rely on her wits - and a few dubious new skills - to survive. Determined to forge her own path, Henrietta navigates a world of rogues and libertines, all while hunting for the elusive Lord Allenham, her last hope. In a tale of intrigue, deception, and self-discovery, Henrietta must decide her own fate in an age on the brink of radical change.
