About this audiobook

An eccentric collection of impoverished European aristocrats hides their fallen status by working menial jobs in a bustling American metropolis. They maintain an elaborate, secret society where they still reign as lords and ladies, clinging desperately to their vanished glory. When an outsider inadvertently discovers their hidden world, the fragile illusion they have built threatens to shatter completely. The intrusion brings danger, unexpected romance, and a harsh collision with modern reality. It is a poignant, fascinating exploration of pride, identity, and the ghosts of the past.
