      In a world where women have no rights, sisters Serina and Nomi Tessaro face two very different fates: one in the palace, the other in prison. Serina has been groomed her whole life to become a Grace - someone to stand by the heir to the throne as a shining, subjugated example of the perfect woman. But when her headstrong and rebellious younger sister, Nomi, catches the heir's eye, it's Serina who takes the fall for the dangerous secret that Nomi has been hiding. Now trapped in a life she never wanted, Nomi has only one way to save Serina: surrender to her role as a Grace until she can use her position to release her sister. This is easier said than done. A traitor walks the halls of the palace, and deception lurks in every corner. But Serina is running out of time, imprisoned on an island where she must fight to the death to survive and one wrong move could cost her everything.

      <i>« Il était interdit aux femmes de lire. Il était interdit aux femmes de faire quoi que ce soit, vraiment. »</i> Toute sa vie, Serina a été formée pour devenir Grâce : une femme choisie pour son élégance, sa beauté, et pour se tenir aux côtés du roi. Cette année, c’est le prince héritier, Malachi, qui va choisir sa compagne. Serina se rend donc dans la capitale de Viridia accompagnée par sa sœur, Nomi, qui deviendra sa servante. La première y voit l’opportunité de sauver sa famille de la pauvreté ; la seconde n’y reconnaît qu’un exemple de plus de l’oppression des femmes. Contre toute attente, c’est Nomi qui est choisie pour devenir Grâce. Mais elle cache aussi un lourd secret : elle sait lire, une activité interdite aux femmes de ce pays. Lorsque les deux sœurs sont surprises en possession d’un ouvrage que Nomi a volé dans la bibliothèque royale, Serina se dénonce aussitôt comme coupable. Elle est alors envoyée sur le mont aux Ruines : une île devenue prison pour femmes. Si elle veut survivre, Serina devra s’endurcir. De son côté, Nomi la rebelle devra faire semblant de se soumettre aux règles du palais afin de gagner l’influence nécessaire pour délivrer sa sœur. C’est un livre, caché dans les affaires de Nomi, qui lui fait entrevoir la vérité. Et si Viridia avait autrefois été dirigée par des femmes ? Si la personne qui lui avait laissé le livre était un allié ?
