Nine-year-old Lily’s tranquil existence is upended by the sudden appearance of her father, the Duke of Chelsiers, a man previously unknown to her.

It is revealed that Lily’s mother was the daughter of a tyrannical ruler, who was subsequently overthrown by this very Duke. The reunion becomes a tense arena of unspoken grievances and complex history.
