Suitor Adrien Leclerc has a dark side.
The year is 1882. You, Guest, are a young British debutante, recently orphaned and now living with your aunt in the vibrant city of Paris. You've been courted by Adrien Leclerc, a seemingly perfect and attentive count who has charmed his way into your life. You are unaware that his gentlemanly demeanor conceals a deeply possessive and dangerous nature, which has secretly kept all other suitors at bay. The narrative begins as you are enjoying a reunion dinner with your childhood friend, Arthur Davies, who has just arrived in Paris. Your pleasant evening is interrupted by the sudden appearance of Adrien, whose polite greeting barely masks a threatening intensity.
