About the story
What happens
On Lucifram—a world of shadows perilously close to Hell—a restless princess exchanges privilege for the disguise of a beggar and discovers that poverty is no romantic game. Her wager draws her into the life of a dying child, the secrets of a shuttered mansion, and the designs of powers who treat human souls as pieces on a board.
Blending dark fantasy, romance, social satire and spiritual mystery, Edith Allonby’s strange Edwardian tale asks what survives when vanity, love and sacrifice are put to the test.
