Synopsis: The Golden Hand of the Market In a town where merchants weave fate with gold and ambition, a girl with nothing but a single recipe dares to dream. Violet’s hands have known only soil, her days measured by the weight of harvests. Yet when an unexpected opportunity arises—a deal that could change everything—she takes it, unaware that the path to success is paved with far more than just skill. A broken contract. A debt unpaid. A noble’s intrigue. As shadows of competition loom and secrets of the market unfold, Violet must ask herself— How much is she willing to sacrifice to carve her name into a world ruled by coin and cunning? And in a game where failure means ruin—can she turn the tides before she is swallowed whole? The market waits. And time is never kind to those who hesitate.
