In 1864, Countess Netta Aznares is propelled into the new royal court as a lady-in-waiting to Empress Carlota who sees Mexico as a vista of gold. Netta is preparing for an arranged marriage when she encounters Captain Miguel de Salvadores, a royal court spy. Embarking on a fashionable affair-of-the-heart, together they must navigate deadly court intrigues and survive a countryside where revolution is fomenting. When the American Union gets involved to enforce the Monroe Doctrine - pitting spy against spy - the battle is on. Together, Netta and Miguel must follow their hearts if they are to survive in a dangerous land on the brink of war.
