Thanks to aid from the ghost of Scarlett Castiel, Constance escaped the incident at the Grand Merillian as the triumphant victim. Good deeds don’t come for free however, and the price for Scarlett’s help is vengeance! Although she was unabashedly wicked, the villainess is adamant that she was framed for poisoning the crown princess—but with no evidence, Constance has her work cut out for her. Perhaps the strange circumstances behind the apparent suicide of Lady Lily Orlamunde might provide some clues…

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRUST Kindhearted Connie has been possessed by the ghost of notorious villainess Scarlett Castiel and forced to aid in her revenge. On top of searching for the truth about Scarlett’s execution, Connie is busy navigating her fake engagement to the intimidating Earl Randolph Ulster, petty noble spats, and last but not least—a secret plot that could undermine the whole kingdom! As more clues surface, the danger grows, and even Connie herself becomes a target. Who is really responsible for Scarlett’s death? And what exactly is the Holy Grail of Eris…?

The Grail family has a single guiding principle in their lives—Thou Shalt Be Sincere. However, sincerity alone can only get a lady so far in the twisted world of high society...as meek Constance Grail soon learns after she is framed for petty theft and loses her fiancé and reputation in a matter of minutes. But one gaze on her isn’t quite as chilling as the others, though the woman’s uncanny resemblance to Scarlett Castiel must be a coincidence. After all, Scarlett isn’t just extremely wicked...she’s also very much dead.

Having survived the Silent Ladies’ Tea Party with the help of Scarlett and Abigail, Constance must now prepare for her meeting with Cecilia—the sly, deceitful princess. She hopes it’ll be a chance to learn more about the incident ten years ago... but when Connie arrives at the palace, the mystery only deepens as a member of the royal family goes missing. All clues point to one suspicious Solditan merchant, but if Connie wishes to track him down, she’ll need to face even greater dangers lurking in the shadows...

Constance Grail has finally abandoned her sincerity and devoted herself to Scarlett Castiel’s revenge. Now, what awaits her is a subpoena delivered in an ominous envelope. Summoned to an investigative committee known as the Silent Ladies’ Tea Party (hosted by none other than Deborah Darkian), Connie must stand up for herself in a twisted trial of lies and malice. Will she face punishment for her sins...or will she manage to pass judgment on the scheming women who are out for her head?

In their quest to uncover the truth behind Scarlett Castiel’s death, Constance and Scarlett attend Emilia Godwin’s soiree to fish for clues. Fishing in a sea of sharks is never easy, however, and their investigation is sidetracked when barbed insults escalate into an attack. And with Randolph Ulster popping up every which way they turn, finding answers is going to be much harder than they thought!
