Synopsis
Born with silver spoons in their perfect mouths, we follow Victorian England’s high society and aristocracy. Dubbed as intelligent and beautiful, the young soon-to-be viscountess has a secret. Lady Cereza of the Arrowesmith house is a homosexual. And she vows to take that secret to her grave—after all, everyone knows that high society is just performance and facades until death. As much as Cereza tries to keep her desires locked away, she sleeps with prostitutes to quench her heart’s yearning for a loving bosom against her face. However, her secret is compromised during a fateful encounter with another young aristocrat. Soon-to-be marchioness, Lady Estelle of the Dryden-Estaughffe estate. Estelle claims to not be like Cereza—threatening to reveal and lay everything bare. but vowing to keep Cereza’s secret under one condition: Cereza aids in her suicide.

Chapter 1 - Notes

It isn't historically accurate for black people to be the focus in Victorian England (though there are black aristocrats), I'm writing this to be Afrocentric anyway because I want representation. There will be more members of the queer community within this story, but I'm keeping the element of homophobia extremely prominent for the angsty feeling of having to conceal relationships.

There will also be discussion and depictions of extremely triggering topics. Self-harm, murder, suicide, attempted sexual assault, homophobia, transphobia, and just generally unsettling atmosphere.

Also! Chapters marked with "[S]" indicate that there is smut present.

Special thanks to my editor and friend, Kidd. ♡
