Synopsis: The Engagement of Marielle Clarac

Marielle Clarac has been enraptured by fairy tales and their handsome heroes since childhood. However, she knows that a "happily ever after" is not in the cards for someone as unremarkable as she. Being a wallflower all her life, Marielle has found solace in observing others and writing novels under a pseudonym about court life. But beneath her dull exterior, a vibrant imagination pulses, and her stories have garnered considerable acclaim. When Marielle becomes engaged to the dashing knight Simeon Flaubert, her creativity bursts forth like fireworks. Although it is highly unusual for someone as ordinary as she to capture the heart of the most eligible bachelor in the land, Marielle is determined to make the most of this opportunity. Regardless of the engagement's outcome, she plans to channel her experiences into igniting a blaze of passion in both her writing and her life.
