She was born in the slums. Now, she must live as a marquess’s son. Twelve-year-old Lia has only ever known hunger and hardship—until she’s snatched from the streets and thrust into a life of velvet cushions, silver spoons, and secret agendas. Disguised as Camellius Bale, she becomes a pawn in Marchioness Bale’s ruthless game to protect her family’s legacy. But Lia isn’t the only one hiding truths. In the manor’s rose gardens and rifle ranges, she crosses paths with Kieran, the frail heir of House Bale with a golden heart, and his friend Claude, the enigmatic nobleman with eyes like winter ice. As secrets unravel, Lia must decide: stay silent and survive, or defy them all to reclaim her name. How long can she wear the mask before it shatters?
