In a world where wealth buys titles, and marriages are forged in contracts, not hearts, one young woman finds herself bartered into a ruinous alliance. Fanny Merchant is sold by her mercenary father to the dissolute son of an impoverished viscount. As her husband gambles away his birthright and pursues every vice, Elizabeth seeks solace in the charms of a rakish lawyer. But love is not so easily bought, and betrayal has its price. From lavish drawing rooms to sordid clinics and deadly duels, their tale unfolds in six vivid scenes—each more damning than the last.
Hogarth's engravings are included in the novelisation, along with the verses he wrote for each scene. This novelisation is based on the engravings and includes additional scenes to develop the narrative and characterisation.
