A game begins.
JOSEON DYNASTY, KOREA.
During the long midwinter, snow drifts through the stark streets of sprawling Hanyang.
Within the stifling walls of the Pavilion, a gisaeng slave girl is driven to the edge of her endurance.
Chungjo is ambitious.
Beautiful.
Cruel.
A slave girl who submits to no-one and destroys all who stand in her way.
Yet a mysterious stranger thwarts her plans at every turn.
Craftier than she could .
