Bored by endless balls and dull dance companions her stepmother forces her to entertain, Tatika feels trapped - trapped by society norms and the inevitable marriage to the odious and terrifying Lord Crowley. But what was she to do as she is faced with the prospect of marriage to a man twice her age, or the beating she will receive, if she refuses?
