Publisher's Synopsis
Soprano, socialite, queen of the demimonde-the enigmatic Belladonna is the undisputed ruler of 1890s Parisian society. At her highly exclusive salons it's an open secret that she plays poisonous games with select clientele. A printer's apprentice, longing to enter this glamorous world, works her way through the Opera House ranks to become Belladonna's indispensable assistant. But when a troubling affair with the wrong lover goes too far, the consequences turn deadly. A luxurious gothic drama where everything is performance and illusion, The Belladonna Invitation asks: how far will we go to get what we want, and how much are we willing to let it change us?
