"...Sins of the father, they say, but in this case, of the mother. The devil always returns for his pound of flesh, and his price is never less than your soul. ..."

Detective Inspector Jemima Chhayya is no damsel in distress but feels like a princess whenever she's with her Prince Charming, the handsome Andrew Moran. Their romance is a fairytale come true, their happily-ever-after just behind the door.

Until true evil from Andrew's past tears them apart, and all hope seems lost.

The princess turns into a huntress as she sets out to find her man and bring him back to her side. But is she prepared for the truth she will find along her quest in the seedier areas of London's East End? Starting with the fact that Andrew Moran has never existed?
