At last, Baroness Irene Vilenskaya-Lopatina arrives in the capital. And what’s waiting for her there?
Success at a manufactory exhibition, receptions, balls, love, and intrigues? But, alas, no. Irene again has to work hard—instead of enjoying the exhibition, she must fight for “a place in the sun”; instead of receptions and balls—business negotiations. And as for love and intrigues…? Intrigues are being woven, and she must find the one behind all the nastiness, the one who dares to lay a hand on Irene’s family.
She only needs to find that scum and survive. And love, maybe, is somewhere around the corner. Irene must find her happiness in the new world and accept it completely. But what will she have to sacrifice for that?
