Running away from a nobleman’s family home is a death sentence. How to live on with a ruined reputation, but without a surname, without a gift, without money? By the will of fate, Mira becomes an actress. Only the past doesn’t let go. When she meets her first love again, Mira can’t control her feelings. Vladimir is the elder son of the Grand Duke, but not the heir—he is a bastard. Having loved for the first time, he loved forever. However, he is convinced that Mira betrayed him by running off with another man. They meet again after fifteen years. And they would have parted again forever if not for the strange death of the clerk from the Secret Chancellery. Mira is suspected of murder, and Vladimir of treason. They’ll have to join forces to prove their innocence and deal with an unexpected inheritance. And the wonderful drawings will help them with that.
