She was once Adrianna Satie. As an orphan, she escaped from the orphanage and fell into the ranks of the aristocracy of the city from the mud, as in a long-standing fairy tale. And everything was fine until one eerie night, when the villains - people and not only - deprived her of everything with blood and murder. She is now Widdershins, a thief trying to survive in Davillon's slums with sharp rapier, wit and the help of the enigmatic Olgun, a deity worshipped only by Widdershins herself. Not a better life than before, but this is her life.
