Synopsis

Marguerite, the former Duchess of Torrinni, receives two letters that will change the course of her life forever; and that will impact young Céleste Richel's life too, in more ways than one.

*****

When Marguerite is forced to return to Torrinni court--that she fled almost three years prior--to witness Prince Sébastien and Prince Jules choose wives, she brings along the five best graduates of the Totresian Royal Academy for Noble Girls, and the young Céleste as her assistant. And as Céleste investigates her favorite book, "The Golden Girl", Marguerite prays to remain anonymous for as long as it takes, and stay out of reach from the woman who raised her: Dowager Clémentine. Can she survive the waves of emotions caused by her past as it catches up to her? Can she face the man she once loved and who shattered her heart to pieces? Can she avoid the royal court's drama and the foreign schemes littering its halls? And will Céleste ever discover who the mysterious "Duchess" is?
