In the glittering world of Regency-era London, where titles and appearances mean everything, the Cavendish family guards a secret that could unravel their entire legacy. Octavius Cavendish, the firstborn and only child of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, carries the weight of the family name with a burden unlike any other: a female, but proclaimed male to secure the dukedom.
Navigating the treacherous waters of high society, Octavius must balance the expectations of being the heir with the truth of her identity. With the guidance of the formidable Lady Danbury and the friendship of the charming Francesca Bridgerton, Octavius prepares for a season filled with grand balls, sharp tongues, and hidden dangers.
Will Octavius manage to uphold the Cavendish legacy while staying true to herself, or will the secrets she harbors be her undoing?
