The ballroom is a shimmering cage of gaslight and false smiles, a whirl of silk gowns and starched cravats. Evie Frye moves through the stifling crowd like a shadow in her dark dress, her jaw set tight with impatience. She would trade this gilded prison for a rain-slicked rooftop in a heartbeat.

'May I have this dance?' she asks, her voice low, the rebellious spark in her eyes a silent challenge to step into her game.
