About This Book

Set amid the glittering season of a new reign, the novel follows the intrigues and transformations of a fashionable circle: a vivacious hostess whose salon dominates town life, a reformed rake who surprises peers with sudden political eloquence, and a husband seeking to restore his standing. Public ceremonies and social gatherings frame romances, rivalries, gambling, and schemes born of jealousy and revenge, while characters move between seclusion and theatrical reappearance, exposing a lurking malignancy beneath outward gaiety and the performative ambitions, scandals, and reinventions of high society.
