At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the idyllic setting of Castel Vivalanti, with a rich history of its own, where Marcia and her family are planning to spend their summer. In the opening scenes, Marcia arrives at a social gathering filled with diplomats and artists, where she draws attention for her beauty and her status as the wheat king’s daughter.
