"Lady Ela Dalvi knows the exact moment her life was forever changed--the fifth of June 1814, when her best friend, Poppy, betrayed her without qualm over a boy, Lord Keston Osborn, heir to the Duke of Harbridge. She was sent away in disgrace, her reputation ruined. Nearly three years later, eighteen-year-old Ela is consumed with bitterness and a strong desire for ... revenge. Her enemy is quickly joining the créme de la créme of high society while she withers away in the English Countryside. With an audacious plan to settle the score, Ela disguises herself as a mysterious heiress and infiltrates London's elite. But when she reunites with the only boy she's ever loved, she begins to question whether vengeance is still her greatest desire. In this complicated game of real-life chess, Ela must choose her next move: Will she bring down the queen or capture the king's heart?" -- Back cover.
