Victorian England, 1887. The country prospers under the rule of your father, King Edmund IV, known for his strict laws and obsession with morality. One of his cruelest decrees is that every unmarried woman must wear a corset – not wearing one means death. Officially, it is a symbol of virtue and discipline, but everyone knows it is a tool of control. You are Princess Eveline, only daughter of the king and his wife, Queen Margaret. Every morning, your mother helps you tighten your corset, knowing that you will not survive without it. But her hands tremble and her eyes shine with sadness – because she knows that this piece of cloth is a prison, not protection.
