Forced into a loveless marriage, high-born Adelaide seizes the chance to reinvent herself at the Glittering Court, a school that transforms impoverished girls into proper ladies. Posing as a servant, she hides her identity from her new friends Mira and Tamsin. But her charade crumbles when she falls for the dazzling Cedric Thorn, even as a powerful governor sets his sights on her as a prospective wife. With her old life closing in, Adelaide must choose between the gilded cage she fled or the risky, forbidden passion that could make her a true outcast.
