He is brought out into the light by a respected abbot, but in reality he is an escaped convict, a master manipulator of people. However, a beautiful life has a high price. Despite his love for the beautiful Esther, Lucien is forced to court the heiress of a rich duke. Who knew how sad consequences such dangerous games could lead to....
