1817. Murdered parents. Stolen dukedom. A broken girl. Rich, spoilt 15-year-old Bessandra is thrown into a world of uncertainty and survival when her rich parents die. She is sent to her poor aunt in London and learns the true bitterness of the world, which she had been shielded from her whole life. With her life changing faster than she thought possible, Bess finds herself with an alcoholic uncle to avoid, a fragile aunt to look after and a reputation to sustain amongst the boys who find her weak and easy on the dark streets of London. As she starts to fight back and learn the ways of London's underworld, she's thrown into a world where enemies could be your friends, your friends could be your assassins and your inner self could be the only true enemy. She soon learns that she herself is a powerful tool that she can use against her enemies. And even more so because she's a girl. With a sharp tongue, knives up her sleeves and watchful eyes, Bess soon finds herself becoming more powerful. But just when she finally thinks she's figured out who's side she's on, she realizes she's only surrounded by lies, secrets and danger. And it's only when she's truly lost that she realizes the biggest lie of all.
