The Marquis couple, Garcia and Anais, were hailed as picture-perfect by high society, like a painting.
Anais lived contentedly in this loveless, restrained tranquility. However, when her first love, whom she separated ways with painfully seven years ago, appeared, cracks began to appear in her daily life…
“May I draw you one day, Milady?”
The changed name, the status of a famous painter, and everything changed from their childhood, Siasen asked to paint Anais, and Anais, who had deep guilt about him, accepted his request.
“My wife praises you so much for being an artist. I thought about meeting you, too.”
Although he was polite, the attitude of her husband, Garcia, who always seemed cold, began to change.
The cruel and tragic incidents and accidents began to appear in the social circles of Katisha, the capital of the Empire, surrounding the three people: Siasen, an immortal painter whose love for a woman had become an ardent obsession, Anais, and her husband Garcia, who harbored a secret.
What was the truth and secret of the two men, who were after Anais?
I've got the suspicion that there was more than one writer involved. Tastes are different and for me some parts were really enjoyable to read, but others were absolutely not, especially those overusing the female plot devices, again and again... The novel title should include 'girls, girls and even more girls'. If that's your thing you'll probably find reading this novel enjoyable. I couldn't care less other than getting ever more annoyed by it to the extreme. I do enjoy reading about female characters, but what's happening here is more than just too much.
The actual story was very interesting and good enough to not drop reading and I wish the author(s) had concentrated on that strength. That would've really helped me making this an enjoyable read throughout, but unfortunately it wasn't to be. I feel this novel is a good example how to bring down a otherwise perfectly great story with a lot potential. Hope that helps.
