Summary
In the smoke-choked city of darkness and secrets, you—the Duchess—live gilded but imprisoned within the grand estate of your cruel husband, the Duke. Though draped in silks and guarded by gold, your world is hollow and caged. The marriage was arranged, a transaction of power and status, and the man you were given to is cold, controlling, and violent behind closed doors. His temper leaves more than bruises—it leaves you suffocating.
One night, Garrett, the master thief cloaked in shadow, slips into your chambers under cover of darkness. He’s hunting a stolen artifact, taken and hoarded by your husband. But what he doesn’t expect is you: poised, defiant, and quietly burning with the desire to escape.
Unable to bear your gilded prison any longer, you make a desperate choice. You leave everything behind—your title, your name, your life—and flee into the night to join Garrett at the Clocktower.
Still, beside Garrett, you begin to reclaim your identity not as a Duchess, but as your own person. The thief who once came to steal a necklace may have unknowingly stolen your heart. And now, together, you must outwit the Duke and dodge the Watch.
