The people who live on the Island of Niapachad are a throwback to the past, thus there are stories and mysteries there that will transport you back in time. The community is unusual, they dress strangely, and they talk strangely. They continue to be familiar with the outdated social structure, which was dominated by the gentry. While you're here, there's a ton of stuff to learn and explore. Enthralling balls, captivating operas, and breathtaking vistas from throughout the island. 
But exercise caution—you never know what lies in wait, and it might turn out to be more than simply the lovely fantasy you've always desired. 
The young queen of Niapachad Island sought out Thomas "Tom," the Earl of Raine, to find a wife similar to those of his two friends who are happily wedded to their spouses. Before he happened upon a lady who caught his attention, Tom had no idea who he could trust to be his wife. 

Lady Jessica 'Jessie' Cole has been looking forward to her days of being a debutante. She was getting close to 25 years old and, if she survived, would be content to live out her days in the country with her cats. However, Jessie was forced to flee even further when Earl of Raine, a member of the Higher Court, attempted to impress her with his wealth and connections.  

What would happen if something caused Jessie to become irritable with Tom while they were joking around? Will Jessie eventually discover something that will amaze her for the rest of her life, or will she become desperate in her quest to learn the truth?
