In the elegant yet unforgiving world of Fontaine, justice is everything and so is reputation.
Clorinde, the Champion Duelist, lives by the blade of the law. Cold, composed, and unwavering, she is justice personified. Navia, the radiant and sharp-tongued president of the Spina di Rosula, lives by the heart, challenging the very systems Clorinde defends. They clash often in courtrooms, in alleyways, in words laced with ice and fire.
But when a powerful conspiracy threatens both their worlds, they are forced into an uneasy alliance. Bound by duty but divided by philosophy, the two women navigate a landscape of betrayal, duels, secrets, and stolen glances. What begins as disdain simmers into tension, and tension into something neither of them dares name.
As enemies fall and truths come to light, Navia and Clorinde must confront the most dangerous battlefield of all and most important their own hearts.
