Dominique has become a Daughter of the King, but that doesn't mean she's a princess.
Plucked out of the convent where she was raised, she's sent to New Orleans to become the
wife of a French colonist. Her duty will be to bear and raise new Frenchmen for the colony and
the glory of the crown.
But her new husband is a brutish lout. Her friend Manon is a walking scandal, and the man who
paid for her friend's passage is full of secrets. For the first time in her life, Dominique is tempted
by the siren call of darkness.
One way or the other, her life will never, ever be the same.
