A young orphan named Flora Saunt possesses extraordinary beauty—her sole asset in a world where she has little money or intellect. When she becomes engaged to a wealthy aristocrat, her future seems secure. But Flora harbors a dangerous secret: she is nearly blind and requires thick corrective glasses that destroy her famous looks. As her vision fails, she must navigate a society that values appearance above all, leading to unexpected consequences and revelations about love, vanity, and what truly matters when sight itself disappears.
