A case of fire and fire, bent on destroying the other, that may as well destroy itself.
Marques Charles of Nottingham puppeteers the weak king, controlling the nation. Cold, calculating, and intelligent, he secretly plays his political cards, maneuvering the country in and out of potential war, all without anyone knowing. That is, until Elise Wickham, a lowly maid, manages to see through him. A clever and observant young woman, she sees through the facade of Charles, and has many tricks up her sleeve, rivaling his own. Indeed, Charles becomes fascinated with the mysterious lady. However, with an assassination plot brewing, aimed at destroying him, could they ever be together?
