Prologue

"There's no place in this world for emotion."

~~
In the 19th century, social hierarchy was everything. What you could wear, who you could befriend, was all determined by your last name. The Rosenthals were no exception, and with no sons, the two daughters face overwhelming pressure to marry well, and marry young.

Elena, at seventeen, has embraced the pressure, unlike her younger sister Celia, at fifteen. She's become quite the socialite, and endeavors to marry into the top sphere of high society.

One thing is for sure, she will stop at nothing to reach her High Ambition.
