In Victorian England, the roar of steam concealed blood and tears. Isabella Ashton, the daughter of the Earl of Salisbury, has everything the world envies - a prominent family background, a perfect upbringing, and a smooth road to Pemberley Manor. However, a banned book and a cruel factory tragedy tore her gilded lady world to pieces. She refuses to be an elegant specimen of marriage and resolutely steps into the coal smoke of Manchester and the shadow of Whitehall in London. Between the cries of women at the bottom and the cold chess game of intelligence giant Mycroft Holmes, she used her aristocratic status as a blade and the truth as fire to burn legal books symbolizing oppression, shaking the empire. However, the resistance attracted not only the gaze of the throne, but also the deadly murderous intention in the dark. When Mycroft commented that she was "more dangerous than Sherlock, because you burn the rules themselves," Isabella realized that what she was challenging was the thorny net that maintained the entire era. The Queen's heavy trust on her deathbed and the undercurrent of power change push her into the center of a more dangerous whirlpool - from London's dark alleys to Paris salons, where loyalty and betrayal intertwine. ?? The crown is made of thorns, and the shackles are burned by the flames. ?? ?? Can she ignite the fire of freedom in the gilded cage of the empire? ? This novel integrates the history of the time and settings such as "Pride and Prejudice", "Jane Eyre", "South and North", and "Sherlock Holmes" to construct a picture of Europe at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. There are many character settings, and Isabella's behavior changed during the first battle. In order to make Isabella face more tests, the timeline is not easy to study (apology!!!)
