Born into privilege, Honora Holtzfall has never wanted for anything until now. Lotte was born with nothing-or so she thought. While Theo was raised to serve a family for whom his loyalty is now being tested. And August knows nothing in this world is going to be handed to him, unlike the heiress he's becoming entangled with.
