In 1824: how long can men’s courtship go on? Forever. How many times can you laugh at the love of admirers and coolly refuse them attention? Constantly. Who deserves to receive the hand and heart of Petersburg’s first beauty? None of them. That’s what Olenka Trubetskaya thought until she met Him—the one who managed to avoid a dangerous dependence on her beauty. The one who declared her a love war, convincing her that it would be Olenka who would be at his feet.
How will this showdown end in the game of love? With love and a heart broken forever.
