The Earl Trancy, Addison Trancy, and his brother Arnold Trancy had a younger sister. Her name was Adrianne Camellia Trancy. The Earl Trancy hid his little sister from the world-- she was a butterfly trapped in a spider's web-- in order to "keep her safe", but in reality, she was his prisoner. Adrianne had little freedom and was constantly abused by her eldest brother. However, when a handsome young footman, Nathaniel Macken, began to work at Trancy manor, Adrianne's life would change for the good. . . or at least she thought.
