The Dupains were once a powerful family, until their only son broke away from the name in order to marry someone lower in rank.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng was born into a working-class existence, and her parents have done their best not to burden her with this familial dispute.
But the death of her grandfather has uprooted her life. Through his will, her mother was made the Lady of the house, and her, the heiress. However unprepared she may be, Marinette must now learn how to assume the role of a noble lady, particularly one who is of marrying age.
With the return of an ever-elusive prince into the city after a years-long voyage, she is set to enter noble society during a very interesting time.
