About This Book

The story follows Nihla Quellen, a charismatic young woman whose moonlit escapes draw the attention of a Latin Quarter artist named Barres and a wealthy count; flirtations at lavish parties and secret rendezvous soon give way to jealousy, surveillance, and blackmail. As alliances shift and a mysterious watcher pursues hidden motives, the characters confront moral dilemmas, social exposure, and violent risks. Episodes range from elegant dances and humorous interludes to tense midnight conferences, and the narrative concludes with crises that force revelations and reckonings amid atmospheric settings illuminated by moonlight.
