I am Olive. A noble lady, the courtier’s daughter—beautiful, clever, and educated. All my life I do only what will benefit my family, although nobody bothered to explain to me what exactly that word means. Now “benefit” demands my marriage to the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, but it seems my patience has overflowed, and the contents that have been building up in me for years are about to spill out and flood everything around.
