Lirael Dustclaire has no idea what to expect when her parents tell her they have been called back to the royal palace to join Lord Sorien's court. She knows her role is to find a husband of equal or higher rank and not to make a fool of herself and embarrass her family's esteemed name.
But when she arrives, the court is nothing like she expects. Everyone there has an underlying goal, whether it is power, politics, or wealth, and she can take nothing at face value. Lirael must quickly learn to survive before she gets killed or worse.
Though she does her best to remain unnoticed, she quickly catches the attention of a very high-ranking man, feared by everyone in court. What starts as interest on his part quickly turns to obsession, and he will stop at nothing to possess her. But not everyone is happy with the idea of her being with him.
With a rebellion fighting in the shadows and the dangerous politics of court, can Lirael blossom in this new environment, or will she crumple like the roses that came before her?
