Tallow is anything but a simple candlemaker and when she ha s everything taken away from her - friends, family, hope - her survival relies on the Maleovellis. Casting aside the safety of her disguise, she becomes cold-hearted Tarlo, female courtesan and the toast of those who, if they knew her secret, would destroy her.

And Tallow's enemies have a hidden asset: the one thing they know she cannot possibly resist. Show more
