Synopsis:
Just what was it that she had sought after all these years? What was it that she had chased after for an entire lifetime? Once upon a time, Ines Lacroix loved the many arts; yet more than anything, she also loved the concept of an “ideal world.” Heart set aflame, Ines chased after her dreams as any imaginative and ambitious teenager would – to become a world-renowned painter like Leonardo DaVinci, or maybe a stellar judge who held rule over a courtroom.
However, as a young lady in France during the late 1900s who possessed no grandiose bloodline or great backing, her dreams were destined to smolder and ignite.
Carrying the weight of an ancestral curse, she danced to the melody of the past like a marionette.
Born of charcoal and ash, yet Ines dreamed of diamond and gold; she dreamt of splendor, she dreamt of riches, and she scorned and envied those born with all she had ever wished for.
Just like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, Ines Lacroix was fated to burn.
