In a society now fully recovered from World War Three, Marinette Princeton is one of the few chosen to become part of the royal family.
When the war broke out, so did a deadly virus, Wysteria, causing the X chromosomes in a body to dwindle, causing sterilisation and death in women. Now, with the over population of men, the Wysteria gene being carried by the males of our species, women who are fertile are sold to the upper class and royal families to produce heirs from as many noble men as possible.
Mari, after being one of the women not born with or sterilised by Wysteria, has been selected by Lady Beatrice VaughnGreyer, to marry her three noble sons.
From poverty to future Duchess, Marinette and her husbands are silenced, abused, and drugged into becoming the perfect married foursome. But when her husbands react the way she does, they are disposable.
