博客來Carolena Bloom, an orphaned young woman from the lower classes, has made herself indispensable to Lady Crosswood, who introduces Carolena to society as her supposed great-niece. But marriage is out of the question: it would be fraud.
But how to avoid admirers while constantly attracting attention? To make matters worse Lady Crosswood promises the future baroness of Brassburg that Carolena will heal her arrogant fiancé, Mr Eden. Him of all people, Carolena has encountered in her past.
Despite all her reservations, Mr Eden finds a way into her heart, and Carolena uses all her abilities - including the magical ones she has renounced - to save him because his illness turns out to not be an ordinary one. However, her secret desire for requited affection might not withstand the harsh reality.
But the worst is yet to come: Carolena’s greedy uncle Sam Thorn has tracked her down and threatens to destroy everything she has fought for.
