"Be quiet. Be quiet and live like the dead."
Ebony Vonieck, a convicted criminal for the murder of her fiance and father. In prison awaiting her death sentence, she is suddenly freed from hell when she learns that the progressive Grand Duke of Schneider Castle wants to see her. Devastated by being imprisoned and facing charges that she was not the perpetrator of, Ebony plans to face a harsh life after being released from prison. But instead, she discovers a warm family with staff and servants who treat her like one of their own.
Little did Ebony know that the Crown Prince would change her life and use her efforts to improve the unjust social system of the Kalcass Kingdom, which condemned her for a crime she did not commit.
