But it's not enough for Camellia to be just a Belle - she wants to be the favourite of the Queen of Orleans. But behind the gilded palace walls live dark secrets, and Camellia soon learns that the very essence of her existence is a lie - that her powers are far greater, and could be more dangerous, than she ever imagined.
