For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a
shot at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury,
glamour, and leisure. To high-born Adelaide, whose wealthy
family is forcing her into a loveless marriage, the
Glittering Court represents something else: the chance to
chart her own destiny, and adventure in an unspoiled,
prosperous new land across the sea.
After a chance meeting with the dazzling Cedric Thorn,
Adelaide poses as a servant to join the crop of impoverished
girls he promises to transform into proper ladies. But her
familiarity with upper class life comes with a price: she
must hide her identity from her new friends, mysterious
refugee Mira and fiery former laundress Tamsin, and most
importantly, from Cedric himself—even though she’s falling
in love with him.
Everything begins to crumble when Cedric discovers
Adelaide’s ruse, and she catches the eye of a powerful young
governor, who wants her for a wife. She didn’t leave the
gilded cage of her old life behind just to become someone
else's property. But nothing is as daunting—or as
wonderful—as the potent, forbidden attraction simmering
between Adelaide and Cedric. One that, if acted on, would
make them both outcasts in a wild, dangerous, uncharted
world, and possibly lead them to their deaths.
