In June-July 1817, secrets resurface, setting the stage for a challenging task. A mysterious exile returns to London, intent on completing a long-standing mission. Meanwhile, the elite gather at Glenister House, where Charles Fraser, a former spy, and his wife Mélanie, who captivates society while concealing her own secrets, are in attendance. Their past resurfaces, drawing them back into a perilous world of espionage linked to Charles's troubled family. Having exchanged the dangers of war for the allure of British high society, Charles and Mélanie uncover a decaying establishment beneath London's glamorous surface. An assassination and clues tracing back to the French Revolution thrust them into a familiar peril. As they seek the truth, they realize it involves their closest friends and family, including the seemingly perfect Honoria Talbot. A secret society and the Fraser family's dangerous connections lead them from the opulent ballrooms to the Fraser estate on the Scottish coast. This deadly game has implications that could alter the fate of nations, but for Charles, the stakes are personal: the lives of his loved ones and the enigmatic woman who shares his name and his bed.
