After the chaos of Gabriel Agreste’s final scheme, Chloe Bourgeois is left facing the consequences of her actions. Once wielding power as Paris’s mayor and ruling over her peers, Chloe now finds herself disgraced and abandoned by everyone she once knew. With her father stripping her of her position, disowning her, and even declaring his loyalty to her half-sister Zoé, Chloe has no choice but to leave Paris. Forced to relocate to New York with her mother, who views her more as a nuisance than a daughter, Chloe is lost in a city that doesn’t care who she is—or who she used to be.
Isolated and stripped of the influence she relied on, Chloe is struggling to find her footing. But everything changes when she unexpectedly runs into Luka Couffaine, another exile from Paris, who’s chosen to distance himself to protect Ladybug and Cat Noir’s identities. Far from the safety of their old lives, Chloe and Luka clash, each wrestling with the painful realities of their pasts. Luka’s kindness and calm approach to life unsettle Chloe, and soon, she finds herself reevaluating the person she’s become and the person she wants to be.
