In the suffocating smog of 1887 London, Eleanor Whitmore spends her days surrounded by the rhythmic, indifferent ticking of brass gears and mainsprings. She is an anomaly: a female apprentice in a world of men, possessing a mind that sees the mechanics of time where others see only destiny.

Versailles is a gilded cage where every whisper carries the weight of a guillotine. Colette Beaumont plays the devoted lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette, but beneath her porcelain mask lies a revolutionary forged in the Parisian slums, fueled by the ashes of her family. As a ghost in the palace, Colette seeks to dismantle the monarchy from within. Yet, she is not the only shadow. Lucien de Montfort, the King’s ruthless spymaster, has marked her. He smells the gunpowder beneath her lavender perfume, but instead of handing her to the executioner, he pulls her into a dangerous, suffocating dance. In a world where love is a weakness and loyalty is a death sentence, Colette must decide if the man holding her life in his hands is her savior or her ultimate undoing. As revolution brews and the scent of blood overpowers the lilies, the thorns of Versailles draw first.
