Cyler spent a century training under the strict tutelage of the Scholars of Farjhem. Now, as he prepares to be sent off into the world a new fledgling, he has only one desire: to serve Agripin, the Grand Duke of his homeland. After missing his chance, a dejected Cyler is instead presented with another, entirely different offer: An invitation from Duchess Oriana, the duke’s beautiful but depraved sister, to join in her den of hedonism known only as The Menagerie. Cyler accepts the coveted invite to this secret world of sensual wonders, but not all is what it Oriana has her designs set on more than offering a service.
