When Ange St Loup is brought unconscious to the madhouse of the
Amaranth, she is outlandishly dressed, covered with scorches from
the building she burned and bruises from jumping out one of its
windows, and her mouth is sewn shut. And that is all she knows.
Even as her memory returns to her, and she begins to piece together
the puzzle of her life as an actress in the theatre Lady Minerva,
every answer only raises further questions, and at the heart of
them remain the ones she has no answers for. Answers that might
explain what she was doing in an alley, by night, outside a burning
building, with her face mutilated and her mind in tatters. Which
version of the story is the truth? Is it Ange's own, despite the
amnesia that only gives back her past in fragments? Is it the
madhouse warders', which paints Ange as a murderer, or the
prioress's, which paints her as insane? Is it the one that returns
to Ange piecemeal, over time, growing only more sinister as it
inches toward completion? Or is the truth something more complex,
more dangerous, than anything that Ange can even grasp?
