The year is 1998, in a world that seems familiar, but is also strange and different.
Demeter Serraffield is the heir of the aristocratic Serraffield family, who hold a seat in the Curia of Lords, the parliamentary body that rules the whole of the world. The day before her sixteenth birthday, she travels to Metropoly, the greatest city in the world, where she must reside by law, or give up her seat in the curia as well as her status as an aristocrat.
At the Seat of Law, the home of the Curia of Lords, Demi expects to be squired to a man who has an alliance with her family, but there are hidden things unfolding out of sight, and as a result, Demi ends up being squired to one of the most powerful men in the world, Matthias Eisenreich, the Iron Duke.
Demi must swiftly learn the rules of the aristocratic society she now inhabits. As if that wasn’t enough, she also has to enter school for the first time, and finds herself the new student council president on her first day as a high school student. She must also learn all that she needs to know to govern her own territory, and to act as a politician.
Above all else, she must discover the terrible hidden truth of the world.
The world is a terrible place, but there is hope.
She will mend all that is broken.
Where redemption never ends in death, and we can grow flowers even from salted earth.
